My father is having an extramarital affair. Part of me wants to end my relationship with him for cheating on my mom, but i worry that he will be depressed as he loves me a lot. How do I deal with this situation?

Even if he had cheated on your mum, his wife. He is still a person, who is important for you. Yet, you may take an anger based decision which might regret. Take time to make up your mind and no decision is not changeable.

Talk to your father about how you feel. Let him know whats on your mind and remind him whats right from wrong

Have a chat with him about it and let him know how you feel and how his actions are causing you to want to end your relationship

I'm very sorry that you have to go through that, but I don't think you should let your parents' relationship with each other affect yours with each of them. What your dad is doing to your mother isn't alright and you shouldn't support it, but don't cut him off because of it if he loves and cares about you a lot.

Two options might be good for such a situation. Either don't interfere and just pretend nothing is happening and accept it, or simply talk it out, sit together and have a talk and try to understand your father's situation and feelings. Be open minded and don't judge. He is your father and he loves you, that's all what should matter for you.

Have an honest conversation with him about your feelings concerning his infidelity. You are not responsible for his behavior, but can provide the opportunity for the family to begin the healing process. Your parents may choose a different path. Be supportive of their decision and determine what is best for you in the interim.

It is not fair to be put in a situation like this so I would put the decision in my father's hands. I would sit with him and explain to him that he and your mother, as parents, have taught you good morals while you were growing up and now you feel that it's time to show them what that means. Cheating is not right and by doing so not only has he hurt your mother but you as well. Just leave it at that. Expressing how you feel to him will help him see how his decisions have made you feel and if he apologizes for it or explains his behavior for it, then you'll know what to do from there.

This is a tough question. As cliched as it sounds, time will help you make your decision. If you choose to remain in touch with him, and it seems like a chore to be in contact with someone who has let you down, considering ending the relationship may be something that will come up. I guess with time, circumstances change and sometimes you'll be in the situation where it's easier to end the relationship than it is now, helping you choose that. It could also go the other way, where you learn to forgive him truly and learn that it was worthwhile staying in touch with him. From personal experience, rash decisions may be something you'll regret later on so take some time to think about it :)

Well your relationship with your father is different from the relationship your father has with your mother, and he may have let her down but it shouldn't affect you too much to end your entire relationship with him because he let her down as husband but not you as a daughter. Hopefully you can slowly learn to forgive him by talking to him about how you feel.

Have you talked to your father about this? You are indeed caught between the proverbial rock and hard place as you probably feel angry with your father and guilty for feeling as if you're betraying your mother for wanting a relationship with him. It's very important to know that your father's affair is not your fault nor is it your burden to carry. If you love your dad and you want a relationship with him, then by all means, have that. Please do not allow yourself to feel guilty or ed a relationship out of anger. Take the time you need and really think of the road you'd like to take; not the one your father would want for you or the one your mother would want for you. Good luck!
