girlfriends dad cheating on her mom

Dubra · #1 03-31-2005, 03:12 PM

I usually just read the posts here, but i am in a kind of sticky situaiton i'm not sure how to handle. im a senior in college and my girlfriend is a sophomore. her parents live nearby so we see them/her mom fairly often whether its for some free food or she needs something or whatever.

the facts:
i was fairly certain her dad has been cheating on her mom based a few different observations, but i said nothing because its not my business

girlfriends mom is finally catching on to things, like finding out he sent his secretary and her mother flowers on easter signed "love"

girlfriend is an only child and feels stuck in the middle of this. her mom seems to be talking to her about it more than anyone else, and you can imagine how that makes my GF feel. apparently her moms friends have a "big mouth" so she doesnt want them gossping. therefore most of what her mom says is told to me by my girlfriend. so i am in the uncomfortable position of knowing more about what is going on than i really want to.

my question is, how do i handle this situation? i see the mom pretty often, so do i just ignore it and pretend everything is fine? i have to comfort my girlfriend but be careful because if i say something to her she might suggest it to her mom (not as coming from me, but from her). thanks

This is certainly a tough situation to be in. I would suggest staying out of it entirely, except for being there when your girlfriend needs someone to talk to. Family issues are best when kept to the family.

Don't involve yourself in this situation at all other than being there to support your girlfriend or support the mother if she comes to you.

What does the mom look like?
Maybe she wants to take out some revenge on him.
PM me if interested. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

My ex-gf's Dad cheated on her Mom when we were together. It was absolutely horrible. The tension in their house was unbearable. Just stay out of it in every way possible, other than to support her or her Mom if she involves you.

haha... i think i'll do you a favor and let you skip this one... the whole daughter looking like her mother in 30 years would be an unattractive theory in this csse.
