Today, I found out that my husband has been seeing another woman and my 16 year-old daughter once caught them while I was at work. She didn’t tell me about it because she was enjoying all the hush gifts, shoes, purses, and the payments for her BMW X3. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out my husband got my 22 year-old daughter pregnant. Not only that, he’s drained our savings on her including a new iPhone and Macbook, designer clothes and handbags, etc. His defense, in all seriousness, was, "She’s not even my biological daughter, chill out." FML
Today, my daughter-in-law revealed to me that she caught my husband having an affair with her best friend. This was five years ago, and she is only telling me now because he stopped paying her the blackmail money to keep her mouth shut. FML
Today, I found out my wife has been bribing my daughter to keep quiet about her affair with my boss. That would explain the iPhone 4S, the $500 shoes, the $200 purse, and the professional $300 haircut. They told me it was because she had straight A's. FML
Today, I received a text from a man my wife had an affair with, in which he stated that my 18 year-old daughter is biologically his. He then sent me pictures of her that my wife had sent to him. FML
Today, I found out, and only after my stepdaughter told me, that my wife spent the whole weekend with another guy at the beach. FML
Today, I found out my daughter has a higher paid job in the same company I work in. I also found out she is dating my boss. FML
Today, my boss told me he suspected his wife was cheating on him. I told him to pull up her Facebook page to look for suspicious activity. I looked at her profile picture and said, "Damn, that girl next to her fine! You know her?" It was his sixteen year-old daughter. FML
Today, my husband decided to start seeing other people. I found out when I called and interrupted his date. FML
Today, I found out that my estranged daughter has been married for five years. I wasn't told of or invited to their wedding, and the only reason I know now is because she needs money for a divorce lawyer. FML
Today, I found out that my wife has been having an affair with the guy who's been trying to get our relationship back on track. FML

Nothing very good can be said about this situation. It’s extremely unfair to children young or old to make them a co-conspirator with one parent against another… I am guessing that when the divorce comes, daughter will probably wind up living with Dad instead of Mom as she is now used to being bought off by Dad - At her age Daughter can choose which parent she lives with. Some years ago my brother was having an affair and at one point he accidentally forwarded a text conversation between him and his lover to his teenage daughter. In that case daughter forwarded it to her mom - and then the fireworks started ending in divorce and a breakdown at that time in the relationship between daughter and her Dad. My brother told me about this. Anyway it caused a lot of hurt feelings. I guess you could say that my niece was less opportunistic than OP’s daughter or OP’s probably soon to be ex was more persuasive in buying off daughter. The end points are probably going to be the same for the parents of daughter - divorce with all the drama and costs…

At least you raised your daughter right! She knows how to use leverage. Most kids today don't have a clue.

it's shitty to use teenagers (especially your own childs) pressure to fit in as a way to buy them off. at 16 the only thing that matters is having the things everyone else does to fit in. if you don't have fancy clothes or access to a decent car, you can very quickly be the outcast... at least that is how high-school years feel. it's like offering to pay a mortgage you're working overtime to keep paying, they know you feel like you need to say yes and it takes a lot to keep yourself clean of the situation.

It's not your daughter's job to tattle on her dad. She's allowed to keep quiet, because that's between YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND, not her, and if her dad wants to 'bribe' her, fine--kids need to be spoiled a bit. Let her enjoy the gifts.

As long as she remembers that when it happens to her and she goes crying to her mama.....lol

Not only spoiling a kid is not a good solution, but even more in that situation where you teach them to bribe other people and to lie to their other parent.

It stopped being JUST between OP and her husband when he started putting his Tab A into someone else's Slot B. And the daughter's so spoiled she's RANCID...
