New Year’s Eve. Supposedly a good time. I want to enjoy but I’m trapped in family drama.
My Dad’s infedility and 16 years affair with another woman is not new to us. My mom just won’t stop talking about it. My parents are still together despite the “invisible” woman being in the picture.
Is it wrong for me to start feeling frustrated for having to hear this over and over again? I heard it on her birthday, on Christmas Eve and now the night before 2019.
I’m a second year university student and I’m so close to considering not coming home at all for Christmas on my third year.
I honestly don’t know what to say when my mom talks about it privately or sometimes even being all passive aggressive to my dad in front of us, her kids.
Am I being selfish and an uncaring daughter? I was very young when I found out about my Dad’s affair but seeing the situation now, it’s so horrible for me to say this (and I’m not justifying my father’s wrongdoing) but I’m starting to think that this marital problem between my parents was caused by mutual action.
My mom always complain and seem to be never satisfied, my dad is lazy, slob and always disappoint her or even try to meet her expectations. I can see why my mom nags to no end. And I can also see why my dad seeks oasis from another woman, as a mean to escape my mom.
I don’t understand why they just won’t divorce. It’s clear they are both unhappy. My siblings and I are all adults and freshly graduates so I don’t see any obligations that ties them together. They are wonderful parents, really, but it’s always THIS that we keep on coming back to for 16 years and I am very tired.
Any advice? It would really help so I can leave this once and for all in 2018

Ending a Long-Term Argument with Someone Petty
When I was in junior high and high school I would actively use this chatting app on my phone to socialize and make friends with new people. It was a happy place...
Hi, I'm Debbie and I'm 19. Honestly, I don't know why some people will not divorce even if the marriage is already broken. My dad lived unhappily with his wife for YEARS and he finally snapped one day and asked her for a divorce, but my mom on the other side, won't divorce her cheating husband. He barely spends time with her, she knows he's cheated before and she still loves him for some reason. They don't have kids so there's nothing stopping them to get a divorce but I don't get why they're still together. Anyway, at least you have the choice to go back home, I live here permanently and have to deal with that all the time. Ugh, good luck with your family!! Everything will get better!
ReplyHonestly if you are really tired of it then confront them how you feel and tell them that you want them to be both happy and them living together is stopping them from both doing that, and it is worrying you at the most and you care about both of them obviously. So i would say approach how you feel to them and be honest about it, because if you don't then how is it ever going to get fixed. Oh and just a tip, approach this to them maturely and nicely!! It helps.
ReplyI've been on that situation (well, kinda) I'm 13 and when I was in 6th grade, we had a family and financial problems. Just cope with music or get a pet. They can help.
ReplyHello, I’m Eliza. I thought I would tell this to you and anyone else who might read this. Divorce can be complicated because some people are too lazy to do it, others are scared because of how they depend on their partner, and so on and so on. Sometimes people just don’t know when the right time for a divorce is. My parents divorced too early and it ended up awful for both of them. Just realize that not everyone sees it from your perspective and some people don’t know when the right time to divorce is.
