I'm pretty sure my parents would offer to cut off his ____.

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.

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.

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

I would never tell my parents. It would be a private issue between DH and I.

My mom would chop off hubs' balls.

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)

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.

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).

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.

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!!!)

I am SO incredibly close to my parents they would know as soon as I found out - I'd probably be running to their house with my baby right away..

They would be absolutely livid. 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.

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.

Gosh it gets me crying thinking about it! lol DH would NEVER cheat on me
