Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

He is getting a divorce.
You need to put yourself in both perspectives. It's not so easy to make such a big change in life without being sure first, that's why people tend to already have met other one to love before leaving their current partner .
Anyway, it would not be easier for the leaved part to accept it. Normally the pain tends to come for the fact that someone who you loves, and that you think they love you back, no longer loves you. The temporal fact that their new relationship overlaps a little with the time before leaving you does not ease much the pain.
Because, let's be real, is not like people don't want to be cheated, it's that people, reasonably, don't want their partner to leave them. Cheating is just the realization of this leaving. But you cannot force love on someone, of they don't love you, they just don't.
If a relationship is broken, I don't really see cheating as a cause, more like a symptom.
Ideally people will be more brave and just end things as soon as they feel no love. But that's a little too utopic in my humble opinion. And being so harsh on people who didn't manage to be as brave as to end something to be alone instead of ending things when they have sure they are not going to be alone is not that justified from my point of view.
Yeah it is unfair for the other part who has "lost" time in a failed relationship and could be have been looking for other partners sooner, as their SO is doing. But a failed relationship is usually evident from both sides equally, so at some point is also their own fault for clinging themselves to a death relationship.
Things would change if there's manipulations, abusive behavior or harm is being done on purpose of course. But there's no evidence that it is the case here. In fact the only harm tried to do in purpose here comes from the mother asking the son to break relationships with his father just to make him suffer.
From the context it's clear he's getting divorced by his wife after getting caught.
Okay then meet with the side chick and then get a divorce. He didn't do that; he waited until he was caught. That's the most piece of shit development possible.
The fuck? You do realize that people commonly leave their spouses due to cheating right? As in from their own side divorce/break up after finding out. Clearly cheating as an act, irrespective of the context, is hurtful. If you can't get that simple fact then frankly you need to do less armchair psychology and more talking to people.
Cheating is inherently abusive. It's a betrayal of the consent their partner has given for an exclusive relationship.
