A man's attempt to rebuild his marriage after his wife's infidelity backfired when he demanded she confess to their teenage daughter. Redditors criticized his decision, calling it cruel and unnecessary.
The OP (original poster) thought his life was going pretty well. He’d been with his wife for 20 years, for 16 of which they have a 15-year-old daughter who absolutely adored her mom. Sounds solid, right? Not so fast. Turns out, during a business trip, his wife took a one-way ticket to bad-decision town and came back confessing that she’d had a one-night stand. Yikes. Our guy was absolutely wrecked.
His wife begged for forgiveness, vowing to do anything, and I mean anything, to save the marriage. But the OP wasn’t about to make any rash moves. For 3 weeks, he was deep in the emotional trenches, trying to figure out if reconciliation was even on the table. Finally, he decided he’d give it a shot but with one colossal catch: his wife had to confess the affair to their teenage daughter. Ouch! Now, let’s pause for a second. Imagine you’re the wife here – horrified, right? She was too. But eventually, she caved and sat their daughter down for what can only be described as the mother of all awkward conversations. At first, the daughter seemed okay-ish. No dramatic door slams, no “I’ll never speak to you again!” moments. But, over time, things got…weird. Frosty, even. The once-tight mother-daughter bond was now hanging on by a thread. The OP didn’t see this coming. He thought he was teaching a valuable lesson about transparency and honesty. Instead, he got a crash course in unintended consequences. So, what’s a guy to do when things go sideways? Turn to Reddit, obviously, and ask the internet: Was he the jerk for making this demand? Most Redditors? Yeah, they weren’t having it. They were firmly in the “Dude, too far” camp. They argued that dragging the daughter into their marital mess was unnecessary and, honestly, kind of cruel. And you know what? I’m with them on this one. Kids might not always know the details, but they’re like emotional sponges—they soak up everything, whether you spell it out or not
