I'd tell my dad what I saw and question him about it.

If I thought he was intent on actually cheating on my mother, I would definitely tell my mother about it, because I'd want to know if my husband was cheating on me so I could make my own plans, and I think she would too. If she didn't care, that would be her business, but I'd let her know so she could have some control over her situation.

Maybe your parents are swingers or looking for things to spice up their marriage that isn't typically in a traditional sense. Different strokes for different folks. Best to stay out of it and keep your nose in your own business.

Since when does chatting with become cheating? Worse, it wasn't chatting in person, it was typing online. Good grief, there's nothing to discuss with mom or dad or anyone.








I know nothing about tinder and refuse to use the service for twits although I was one of the first to use online chat: IRC, AOL, CompuServe. I do not understand how typing = cheating.


Maybe my grandkids and great grandkids will enlighten me as to this concept of chatting/typing = cheating.


OP, MYOB.

Confront your father immediately. It doesn't matter how old you are. Tell him that you won't tolerate this. If he doesn't accede to your wishes, tell your mother. Meantime, tell your siblings. Encourage them to confront him as well.


You're a good and loyal son.

Enlighten us oh wise ones, you and the person you responded to, instead of being so smug and cocky as if you have some kind of special shared secret.

If Tinder is not a meet up / dating / chat service then what exactly is it? Curious minds want to know what you apparently know is so extraordinary and elite and secretive about it.

I'd confront both. If the dad is being sleazy in this way, who's to say that he's not bringing home any STIs due to his recklessness. Maybe the mom knows and doesn't care. Maybe the mom doesn't know. I think, for the health implications alone, that confrontation is worth any potential blow-back.

Yes, its a dating service. You're not going to be chatting up your banker, insurance agent, or employee on Tinder. Well, maybe you would be... but not for professional reasons.

If you're on Tinder, you are looking to hook up. Maybe you end up swiping right on someone who you also happen to have a professional relationship with, but you're not on Tinder to begin with to have a conversation about your investments or the ding you have on your car.

OP, MYOB.
Your age and ignorance is showing.

Tinder is a dating app. People use it to find dates, it's not a chat site.

Really? How do we all know it's cheating? For all the OP knows, his parents have an open relationship. Or else maybe there are some aspects to this marriage that Dad has tried to address with Mom but to no avail, so he is seeking a quieter outlet for certain things. I call that parity, because withholding affection (like physical intimacy) is a form of cheating, too. And some women don't want to do anything about it.

At any rate, OP needs to mind their own business.
