A Redditor had shared a story four years ago, about how he exposed his father’s affair during a family dinner, in front of their whole family.
OP shared that his father was absent in his life, as he was on his long business trips, and focused on his career rather than his family. OP shared, “My siblings and I were basically raised only by my Mom, and I’m really close with her.”
As OP saw that message, he was shocked, and immediately talked with his mother. His mother was not surprised. OP wrote, “She got pretty emotional which I felt bad about, and told me not to worry and that I should just worry about being a kid and let her take care of the rest, so I just let it go cause I didnt want to hurt her more.”
His father started to talk about how OP should be like his cousin, and focus on the school for opportunities, etc. As he kept talking, he come to a point where he talked about the lack of respect his son has.
As OP had enough, he said, “hard to respect you when you openly cheat on Mom and don’t even try to hide it”.
As they arrived at home, OP’s mobile phone started to rang, as everyone was texting him that he ruined the evening, and his family. As he talked with his mother, OP shared, “She said that she understood my frustration and I probably should have expressed it better privately but what’s done is done.”
