Well I have 1 big brother and 1 small brother. Now my mom 46 years old[still prettier than 35 years old woman], my dad 53 years old. A few days back before I spotted the conversation of my dad and his affair. The day before the spotted things happened, I'm playing computer and suddenly phone rings. My Uncle pick the phone and said Heloo...Helooo...I can't hear you, your voice is so small. Well it happen 3 times. The next day, in the morning, I'm already in front of the same computer and suddenly phone rings again. Now I ran and pick the phone, at the same time my elder brother picked it too[It's parallel phone] and said Helloo. It's at about 6 o'clock in the morning. And I can hear that she was looking for my dad and my elder brother wake my dad up and give the phone to him. I'm kinda got curious feeling, so I keep listening without make any sound all the way. From the Conversation that I heard, I can make some conclusion that the girl is married and already have children. And from the conversation they will meet up in the evening still in that day. Now I know, why there is a sperm smell at the car in a few months back, that day I thought I mis smell it. Now it's all clear to me. Truly I'm kinda sad that my dad has affair with another wife, but what makes me really sad is, my mom, she was so kind, but why she got husband like this. Oh gosh, my mom deserved better husband than my dad. Yeah I'm not too love my dad, I'm just love my mom. Even they both love me too. Until now, It hasn't been a week and I haven't tell my mom about it. So please what should I do? Should I tell her about my dad's affair with another wife? Please Help me Guys.

As much as you may not like your father, It is not your place to interfere in this one I'm afraid. This one is a matter for your mother to sort out and believe me, your mother may end up resenting you for pointing out what he's up to if you told her because apart from the breakup it could cause, your mother will always remember that it was you who told her in the first place. If you absolutely can NOT keep quiet about this whatsoever, I suggest you find a discreet and tactful way to approach the subject with your father, something along the lines of letting him know that you know what he's doing behind your mothers back. Other than that there is nothing you can, or really should do.

Well The truth is, I knew that my mom is also knows that my dad cheated on her. But I don't know how far she knows about it. I can't count how many times my mom said wants to get divorced. My mom still grip her marriage is because of me and my brothers, because of her children. If she still not have children, then she will definitely get divorced. I'm kinda pity my mom.

Well what do you think about the possibility of your mom getting divorced? I mean would you be happy for her or would you be upset or whatnot. Do you think you could handle your mom being divorced? I think if you can say yes, you can handle it, you might want to find a nice way of hinting to your mother that you feel that way. She may be more inclined to leave an unhappy marriage (especially with your dad cheating on her) if she knows that she has your support with that decision.
