My dad has recently been caught having an affair with his young personal assistant. Huge scandal; mom was very angry. Now they’re in the middle of divorce proceedings. Mom moved out, the other woman moved in and I chose to stay with him because we’re super close; he’s like my best friend. Now mom’s telling me to go and live with her and go no contact with him cause he’s a bad person and by continuing having a relationship with him I’m condoning his actions and “ignoring her suffering”. My relationship with my dad hasn’t changed, I don’t see why I should end it.
? It was literally point number 3 you made. How people make mistakes and it happens
The OP asked if they should have their mother’s back even though it means not having their best friend
Yes. Their best friend stooped to one of the lowest places they can go and now they want to stand by them. If they do, theyre are bad by association and deserve their mother eventually not talking to them either.
Edit: if he’s such a best friend, he’ll make amends with her even if they choose their mother right now.
That’s you reading it that way and others not. Maybe this is your point two playing tricks on you now?
Dude, I don’t know if you are consciously cherry picking to win this argument or if any best interest of OP simply does not exist for you.
Regardless, I have no interest in discussing this further with you as it seems to be a self fulfilling purpose disconnected from the original post. I’m out.
Also, you say im cherry picking but you’re the one going around saying “read point 2 again” as if your not cherry picking your own commandments
Still ain’t an airport. Don’t have to announce your departure.
My argument has been the same since the beginning as literally the first comment. Sticking with dad is also choosing the new chick in the mom’s eyes. What dad did is deplorable and OP staying with shows their morals and lack of them
