I know that if we worked toward healing and reconciling they would be SO supportive. Actually I think they would be more supportive on working toward reconciliation than they would of divorce. My parents have the gift of being incredibly wise, discerning and objective. Of course it's an emotional issue, but they would definitely support me in whatever I needed to do. But they would want my marriage to last, so I know they'd try to encourage getting help. </p> <p>But I can just imagine my dad cleaning his gun. He would be SO SO SO SO SOOOO mad at DH. He treats DH like his son, and loves him like one. I think he would feel so betrayed.</p> <p>Gosh it gets me crying thinking about it! lol DH would NEVER cheat on me :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-cheated-on-you-what-would-your-parents-reaction-be#post-237909 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 10:36:11 +0000 SleepyMonkey 237909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't tell my parents either if I thought it was reconcilable. They would forever think badly of him and put a strain on all of our relationships. BUT If I were ending it then I would spill the beans. My parents would likly be supportive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-cheated-on-you-what-would-your-parents-reaction-be#post-237898 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 10:33:00 +0000 mediagirl 237898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They wouldn't know. There is no way I would tell them that. Now, if it ended up we had to divorce over it, then I may tell them so they know the real reason why (and don't blame me like I'm sure they would!!!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-cheated-on-you-what-would-your-parents-reaction-be#post-237848 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 10:15:56 +0000 Modern Daisy 237848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents would never find out, but if they did I'm sure they would just stay out of it 100%. They've both cheated before so I'm sure they would understand that it's a private matter that I need to get through on my own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-cheated-on-you-what-would-your-parents-reaction-be#post-237786 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 09:57:31 +0000 MrsLMA 237786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This happened with DH and me before we were married. It was an "emotional" affair which I deemed to be more hurtful/damaging (I'm sure I might feel differently had there been a physical relationship, but that's another topic)</p> <p>I told my mom about 2 weeks after I found out- which is an eternity for me. While I think that INITIALLY she viewed him in a different light (who wouldn't) she eventually was able to forgive him just as I was. We went to therapy, and seperated for a bit while deciding to stay in our relationship and TRUELY I think that it brought us closer together.</p> <p>I think that my mom told my dad, and they both have a great relationship with him today- we're closer with my parents than we are with his (who never knew).</p> <p>EDIT- I really don't know how they'd feel if this had taken place after we were married as opposed to before we were even engaged. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-cheated-on-you-what-would-your-parents-reaction-be#post-237784 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 09:57:20 +0000 mrsjyw 237784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>both sets would be sad and disappointed, regardless of who did what. i think my dad would be furious, my mom and his parents would tell us to try counseling; but all of them would understand if we couldn't work it out after trying to resolve the issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-cheated-on-you-what-would-your-parents-reaction-be#post-237783 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 09:57:16 +0000 Rubies 237783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom would chop off hubs' balls. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-cheated-on-you-what-would-your-parents-reaction-be#post-237778 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 09:53:33 +0000 eeh 237778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both sets of parents would be disappointed in whoever did the cheating and would "side" with the person who was cheated on, even if it wasn't their own child. His parents would probably be more likely to encourage us to go to counseling and work it out and my parents would probably encourage us to not make any rash decisions and think things through for our daughter's sake. I don't think either set of parents would encourage us to end our marriage or "just deal with it". They would encourage us to address the underlying issues at hand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-cheated-on-you-what-would-your-parents-reaction-be#post-237769 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 09:49:45 +0000 MsLipGloss 237769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would never tell my parents. It would be a private issue between DH and I. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-cheated-on-you-what-would-your-parents-reaction-be#post-237763 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 09:47:05 +0000 DillonLion 237763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't be discussing this with my parents. At least not initially. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-cheated-on-you-what-would-your-parents-reaction-be#post-237762 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 09:46:51 +0000 LuLu Mom 237762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OH man this is such a tough situation, I tell my mom everything, but I think I would do my best to keep it from her until I knew what was going on and what my decision would be. </p> <p>However, if I felt the need to move out and get away to clear my head, I would move home with them while I decide, so it would probably become clear that martial issues were happening and she would want some answers. My dad would probably never talk to him again, he's the silent but scary type :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-cheated-on-you-what-would-your-parents-reaction-be#post-237760 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 09:46:11 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 237760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom would be furious and my dad... Who knows? He doesn't get worked up usually. My brothers would probably try to fight him. They're still young and always getting into fights. Luckily, that will never happen! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-cheated-on-you-what-would-your-parents-reaction-be#post-237755 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 09:43:51 +0000 Adira 237755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty sure my parents would offer to cut off his ____.</p> <p>That said, I'm with you, @mrbee - I probably wouldn't tell my parents unless there was no chance of reconciliation. My mom holds onto grudges FOREVER and she would NEVER be able to forgive my SO for cheating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-cheated-on-you-what-would-your-parents-reaction-be#post-237744 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 09:41:07 +0000 mrbee 237744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When a friend of a friend was cheated on, she told her parents and they told her to just "deal with it." I guess I had assumed that your own parents would have at least some sympathy and outrage, before then perhaps encouraging their child to give their spouse a second change. But I guess dealing with it was the expectation back in the day!</p> <p>All that said, if there was ever infidelity in my life (not that there would be), I would never ever tell my parents. If you reconciled, it would be tough for everyone involved I think.</p> <p>If your SO cheated on you, what would your parents' reaction be? </p>
