Why should my wife feel sorry for our daughter just because her loser husband cheated on her with her friend?

Just hear me out. My daugter Olivia is 26 years old and 8 months pregnant with her first child. For the past 3 years, she's been in a relationship with some loser named Nick. They got married last year. Olivia's best friend since junior high school Amanda is a dirty young whore. Olivia recently found out that Nick was having an affair with Amanda. She called her mother(my wife) crying and venting. My wife feels bad for her but I don't. I'll explain why.

2 years ago, I had a brief affair with Amanda myself. I don't feel proud of it. I'm very upset about the pain I caused my wife. My wife treated Amanda like a second daughter but Amanda betrayed her by seducing me. Sure, I was wrong too. It takes two to have an affair. But let me tell you how my "precious, loving, loyal daughter" blamed it all on me and accused me of taking advantage of Amanda. Supposedly, at the time Amanda and I were sexually involved, Amanda was vulnerable due to a bad relationship she just got out of. Oh well, she was still just as wrong as I was! It took 3 months for my wife to forgive me and let me back in. Explain to me why Olivia didn't cut Amanda out of her life for betraying her own mother? Instead, she blamed me. Oliviaa's been distant from my wife and I ever since. Now that her own husband cheated with the same tramp, she expects her mother to console her? I don't think so. What should I say to my wife to convince her not to sympathize with our daughter? Would this teach her a lesson about loyalty?

    You are the most immature SELFISH excuse for a father I think I've ever encountered and I'm a foster care social worker....GOOD HEAVENS.....This isn't about you...this is about your wife and child.

    My husband has never cheated on me, but if he did, I'd forgive that a lot easier than this selfish attitude toward my kid.....if my husband ever withheld love and support from our kids, I'd never forgive him!

    You should feel badly and your wife should feel badly BECAUSE YOUR CHILD IS HURT.......When your a parent, you hurt when your child hurt rather they deserve it or not.

    If I were your wife, I'd leave your sorry selfish self.....because the affair was just a symptom of how your look at things.

    Amanda's a tramp...we get this...you're supposed to be her father......she expected more of YOU because you are supposed to be an adult and HER FATHER....I would hope she expected more of you, it seems she shouldn't expect anything from you.

    She's 8 months pregnant, feeling fat, depressed and now her child may not have a father, though in her case, clearly she'd be better off.

    Listen DAD...if you're a man, this is what you do...GROW UP, GET OVER YOURSELF, hug your daughter, wipe her tears and tell her you're going to help her and her baby. If you can't do that, you are no man at all...ain't about you sweetheart!

    You have NO right to expect anything from your wife or your daughter...when you betrayed your wife, you betrayed your family. Anything you get from her is GRAVY....you deserve nothing...which seems to be exactly what you give.

    Honestly.....

    Do you really expect anyone here to agree with you? After betraying your family not once but twice now by cheating and then not morally supporting your daughter during a very difficult time for her? You have no right to lecture anyone - ESPECIALLY in your own family, at this time - about loyalty. You're still looking for vindication for your affair. Telling everyone that Amanda was poison and it's their own dam fault for being involved with her does not make you a better man in any way. Amanda may have just gotten out of a bad relationship then, but what was your excuse? Even if she was/is a skank, YOU were the experienced adult and should have behaved like one then as well as now. As for being involved with your daughter's husband, clearly Amanda spends way too much time with your daughter and her family and may have some psychological, love-hate, frenemy issues with your daughter, but that doesn't relieve you of your duties as a husband and father to support the women in your life.

    You are already treading on thin ice..... The women in this family deserve A LOT better.

    You asked "Explain to me why Olivia didn't cut Amanda out of her life for betraying her own mother? Instead, she blamed me." The answer is, because she felt that as you are her mothers husband - you had an inherent loyalty to her, which you broke. A formal agreement to honor, respect and stand by her (represented by your marriage.) Amanda, had no such agreement to anyone, although I'm sure they both expected better from her.

    Being unsympathetic now, will only reflect how little you understand the damage that you did to your own wife when you cheated. It will make it obvious that you care little for the feelings of either woman. If you want to remain married I suggest you be supportive and understanding of both women, rather than spiteful and arrogant because that attitude will get you nowhere.

    Well I personally blame you for having sex with Amanda. Yes she did seduce you but no matter how turned on you are you don't cheat on your WIFE! That's a commitment. Anyway your opinion to your wife on the matter will not matter because it involves Amanda and will say that you did the same thing so don't say a word. You are a grown man and should have conducted yourself as one by not cheating. Have fun taking care of your daughter's baby.

    You are a deplorable disgusting man who refers to woman in derogatory names and who has no respect for women to begin with.

    Your wife is a fool to forgive you for cheating on her. Amanda didn't make VOWS to honor and to respect your wife YOU DID! I'm sure a child who is the age of your OWN DAUGHTER!!! was not capable of seducing your lame cheating *** unless you were up and ready for it. How dare you not have sympathy for your own daughter I am sure she chose her current husband based on the fact that she grew up living with you!., girl tend to marry men who are like their fathers ( so I guess you are a looser too ...well that has become totally obvious) Take a good long look in the mirror make actual eye contact if you are even able to do that and start being a decent worthy example of the father you should have been to your own flesh from the beginning you owe everyone involved apologizes. Lesson in Loyalty are ******* kidding?????????????????????

    Ok let me get this straight- you had sex with your daughter's best friend, and that same friend just slept with your daughter's husband and you cannot understand why your mother would sympathize with her daughter? YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING. You are proud of sleeping with Amanda, so why would it be ok if your daughter's husband did? You are sick. She may have been just as wrong as you, but you are wrong to think that your daughter is upset. Shame on you

    You have no respect for niether your wife nor your daughter and could care less about the consequences of your selfish actions in the lifes of the people that are the closest and most important to you. you take responsibility for your actions but at the same time you want revenge. and the worst part is, there is a new baby coming soon too a really messed up family. poor baby. y
