No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

There's a bit of difference between making a mistake and stabbing your partner in the back. He could have done it the right way, but he chose to do one of the most emotional hurtful things you can do.
He betrayed family to get laid
Point number 2. Read it again.
As of why, we can only speculate. Sometimes a disaster is what is required to get things happening that should have been over a long time ago.
They are living together already, so it was not only to get laid.
Exactly. She moved in after. You are absolutely correct. 10/10 reading comprehension.
It would be unusual if she moved in before the ex wife moved out.
Nah, I messed up on that one. I'll say that one.
Whoops. Just another mistake
So you're a hypocrite? Is that really that much better?
No, I misread the final sentence. I still agree with everything I said, it was just slightly out of context so I withdrew it
But go off just being a dick
Right. I'm the dick that says op should not let themselves be caught in the middle of their parents messy divorce in ways that they might regret later in life and you are the one advocating op go no contact despite us not knowing barely anything about what has been going on or why because this is your hill to show off your moral high ground and insert yourself in some drama that you are immune of consequences. Sure, dude. I'm the dick.
Im not saying go no contact forever. I've said previously they should have their mother's back until he can genuinely say sorry and start the healing process
Right now everyone here is advocating for shitting on the mother in her most vulnerable state. Because the dad is fun
I'm sure it is hard for Mom right now, but she's not in the room, so, we're focusing on OPs well being.
It is not the kid's responsibility to be their parent's support team.
It is not the kid's responsibility to dispense justice for the other parent.
Just because OP is the only character in this story we can interact with, it doesn't mean that they need to right every wrong in it.
Then OP better be fine never talking to their mom again
Unless you are their mother and refuse to talk to them, that's not up to you.
And if you are, or if she has the same plan, then OP would probably be better off without.
Yes, cause letting your child not only live with a cheater but the young ASSISTANT he fucked while still going through with your divorce is such a good move.
The dad obviously doesn't make good choices. He's only thinking about himself. And the child already thinks theyre the greatest.
Im not saying parents should never talk to their kids. But thats what's going to happen if OP stays in the house with is dad and his YOUNG ASSISTANT THAT MOVED IN BEFORE THE DIVORCE SHE CAUSED IS EVEN FINAL
Let me be perfectly clear.
THIS IS NOT THE KID'S PROBLEM.
Forcing them to take sides has ONLY NEGATIVE EFFECTS ON THE CHILD.
I know you REALLY feel for Mom, and want justice for her, and I don't disagree with that, and I'm not defending Dad's actions, but you need to be saying these things to Mom, or her peers (siblings, friends, HER parents)
You are trying to convince OP to weaponize themselves against their parent in order to enforce justice on someone that you don't like and have never met.
Please stop.
I'm only stopping now cause OP cleared the situation up more.
Otherwise, I'd say I feel sorry for your mother. To have a child that wouldn't have their back in that situation must be upsetting.
That's pretty ironic considering she did what op's dad did.
Edit: I just read the extra details that OP shared. Wow. You were way off, huh? 😂
Maybe read your own point 2 again...
Yeah, I get you and I agree. I already mentioned in another comment that OP is included in point two and it is ok that they have strong feelings about this. It grinds my gears though when people on social media go full binary in driving other people's lives into the gutter because they can project themselves as morally superior or whatever other reason. That's me point two right there.
