I think my dad is seeing prostitutes...?
Hi, my parents are aged 53 (dad) and 48 (mum) and are married. They seem reasonably happily married, sure they do occasionally fight, but yeah they both seem like a content, middle-aged married couple. I am their only child and am aged 16.
Once when I walked into my dad's work room I saw he was on the computer and he was on some dating site... So later when he was out my curiosity got the better of me and I went through his history. He has been watching a lot of porno, and goes on a lot of escort/prostitution sites as well as dating sites... Well over half his browsing history is filled with porno and escort sites. I was quite disgusted that my dad is doing this...
Recently he has been going out lots (on evenings too) saying that he had been going to business functions/events/parties etc. But I think it is quite obvious he is cheating on my mum with escorts...
I don't know what to do... Should I go tell my mother about this? She is currently at a conference overseas as well as seeing family and I won't see her for another few weeks.
Is it common for middle-aged married men to see prostitutes?
It's just a bit of a dilemma for me, because my dad is quite a good father. This does NOT mean he is a good husband or a good person. I don't think he is a particularly good person as he is a racist etc. But as a father he does go out of his way to help me out with things which is quite nice of him. i.e. he gets up at 5.30am on tuesdays and thursdays to drive me to football training to save me a 30 minute walk and me having to get up earlier.

Yes, middle-aged married men are probably the main clientele of 'the oldest profession'.
MYOB. Telling your mother would benefit no one.
Are you SURE that your mother "is currently at a conference overseas as well as seeing family" ?

No. It is really weird and freaky. So ok I get that he watches porno and has some on his computer but most guys that I know already have some on there's so it's pretty normal. For that part. But if he's on dating websites then he's obviously then flirting and or making dates. Probably cuz he's so old yo parents don't do it it often and that's y. So he probe is cuz he's old and prostitutes are young and that's an easy way for him to have sex. But I'd not tell ur mom cuz sense she's over sees but if u honestly think he is then ya tell her and if u think it's not true then u have nothing to worry about ur parents. But what I would do is tell him a story about a friends dad who's hella old and is cheating and see what he would say.

Yeah it's common, but it's not okay if they're married that's for certain.
I'd rather gather up some evidence, the stuff of the computer and what not, sit him down and talk to him about it. The conversation can only go one of two ways, either he admits he is or he denies it up and down. Either way, you have the evidence you need if you feel you have to be the one to confront your mother if he doesn't.
Usually I wouldn't suggest you stir the pot like this, but if he's so careless as to leave his browsing history cluttered with this nonsense and then his behavior fits the bill then I don't know if he's careful enough to use protection. If he's being this irresponsible and selfish then apparently you might have to take things in your own hands.

in the journey that your dad's call isn't John, then.....sure....he's seeing a prostitute. yet, being that your dad is a single divorcee with a baby, it is very an excellent thank you to "get some" without strings linked. this way he would not have each and every of the issues of a dating and might dedicate maximum of his time to you. Yay! flow Dad!

I wouldnt tell your mom, itll stir up some trouble unless your mom is a quite, mature, and understanding woman. I would hold off, and see if your dad changes in any way. IF u absolutely want to tell your mom, make sure that you tell her you arent absolutely sure. divorce can be harsh because most likely this is where this situation will go.
