“My dad cheated on my mom again and I don’t know what to do”
I love my dad, and I don’t want to lose him. But this is the second time he’s done this. The first time already left a scar in my mind. Honestly, I’m not even surprised anymore, but I really trusted him. I thought he felt at least a little bit of remorse when he realized we knew.
Right now, I’m crying so hard I barely have the energy to type. I don’t want my family to fall apart. He has two teenage daughters—how could he do this? I don’t know what to do or who to turn to. My mom and sister just found out today.

What Cheating On Your Spouse Says About You
Cheating on your spouse isn’t just a “mistake.” It’s a flashing neon sign that says, “I’m a coward. I don’t have the guts to face my problems like an adult.” You want the real, raw truth? Here it is—when you cheat, you’re not just breaking a promise to your partner; you’re telling the world everything they need to know about your integrity, your character, and your willingness to take the easy, selfish way out.

The Dumping Grounds
“Why should I be a good person?”
Context: I’d say I’m a pretty nice person, try to be empathetic to everybody even “mean” people, I keep a policy of putting myself in other peoples positions, etc.
Recently though, I’ve been thinking about giving up on this, feel like people who are assholes do so well from being assholes, and I don’t remember what was the reason which made me choose this empathetic path in the first place, it could be because I’m drunk right now.
Anyway I’m hoping someone can shed some light on the issue, and help me remember why it’s worth being a good and empathetic person, instead of being egotistical and self minded.
