Father playing away

I have been very suspicious for about 7/8 months now about my father's strange behaviour and slowly diminishing and variable relationship with my mother. This suspicion was aroused even further when my brother (who lives and works away from home) told me to be 'on guard'. I've seen text messages from this lady called Kelly Jerome, and he has asked her for some 'fast loving'! What do I do? Do I confront him that I know about this or let things lie for a while? I cannot let this happen at the expense of my mother.

i've been here. i found rather expletive messages on my dads phone. he didn't realise he had sent messages. poor sod.
this was september and my parents were due to get married in december.
i had to think about a lot of things. what would happen to the family. how it would affect me, my sister, my little brother who was only 5 at the time.
how it would destroy my mum. how she would loose so much money.
in the end i couldn't bring myself to do it. it was a lot for a fifteen year old to be thinking about.
i never confronted my dad either. i mean how do you do that. just randomly slip "so i hear you're sleeping with someone else" in you conversation. i think not.
but three years on. all is good. and i presume it's all over. maybe i should have said something. but you don't realise quite how hard it is until you're there.

confront him definitely!

my mum has been doing the same since i was in primary school (i'm now 21) i didnt want to belive the rumours when i was that young. my dad finally kicked her out last september and home life has been so much better.
it did get real messy for a bit and i still dont speak to her, but things at home are mcu better!

Yeah confront him, and if he is cheating, tell him to come clean otherwise you will.

Tricky situation, but I'd image that's what I'd do if it happened with my parents.
