So if your parents divorce and your mom discovers that you have known about this all along, would it bother you if she sends you packing?

Tell him you know and hope he wears protection for his wife's sake. A man will do what he wants to do...

I take it he is not married to your mom? I would imagine you would be much more angry if it were?

Just ask him why he is doing it, if he was married to my mom I would insist he tells her or I would tell her myself.

Yes he's married, in our culture we have to respect our elders, and I'm suppose to be getting advice not giving him advice, it feels awkard for me to bring it up. Do most guys go through this phase ?

That's why you frequently have to tell culture to go eff off ;)

But is the whole marriage and monogamy thing not culture as well?

Don't ask me. I firmly believer in a free for all :D

I was merely replying to him not being able to confront his father due to "culture"

In our culture , you dont question what elders are doing.

Respect is the core foundation of our culture.

WHat you could do if it hurts you very much, talk to your aunt/uncle. They will be able to sit down with you daddy.

Else try to get a new place to stay, assuming you are an adult.

Question: How many girlfriends do you have?

So the elders can do anything they like, and you can't take them on about it?

This is why our country and its politics are so fu$cked up. Adults should be able to talk to any other adult person like equals to question behaviours and actions. Respect can always be preserved on personal level.

Age (= elders?) does not guarantee respect. Responsible behaviour and integrity does.
