When I was 13, I found out my dad had mistress. I said I'd rat him out to mom if he didnt buy me an account on some porn sites.
He didnt want to give me access to porn even under the threat of exposure, SO we compromised on buying me an account on a hentai site which he didn't count as ‘real porn.'
I accidentally left the hentai site open on the family computer one night and my mom found it at some point after I went to sleep.
Since the content was being paid for, she apparently thought my dad was using it. The next day, our Google search history was full of stuff like "help my husband is watching cartoon porn’ and "is it normal for men to like cartoon porn’.
Dad took the rap for the hentai without complaint because the alternative was admitting that he bought porn for his 13 year old son to cover up his extramarital affair.
End of the story? Nope.
A few years later I happen to be going through my parents’ closet for something when I stumble upon a bunch of cosplay shit: a Hatsune Miku thing, a meido costume and a school uniform based on Haruhi. Along with neon colored wigs and assorted anime inspired accessories like cat ears + tail.
So apparently my mom accepted that dad had a fetish for anime chicks and has been doing her best to satiate his lust for 2d, and poor dad who has no fetish for 2d whatsoever (pleb), has to play along or allow the entire web of lies to collapse.
tldr I ruined my parents marriage with hentai.
Mom is a tryhard. Lucky dad
True if you cheat you already are an incredible asshole but if you cheat on a partner who will adapt to your fetish you deserve to go fuck yourself.
I like to imagine there is a special level of karma or hell for cheaters. When my ex cheated I found out on my birthday. Absolutely devastated me. Moved out for 6 months, came back, tried to work it out for a few years. I got intense therapy, we saw marriage counselor, then I discovered her sexting the dude she cheated on me with (by her own admission of all things).
If we didn't have a kid together, I'd have left her to fend for herself. I made all the money in the relationship, I'm the one with an education, and the ability to actually work toward anything. Instead i let her have the house, I'll help her pay for it for a few years so she can have that much time to afford to buy it out.
My son has everything he will ever need covered by me. She can't do school work, she has no benefits, and makes 1/5th of what I do. In a few years when that payment stops, she owes me a chunk of money on top of making up that pay.
So, in the end, while I end up with PISD, she has to live the next few years stressing over how to pay for living while I continue to live better and better, and provide for my son. I even have a fund started to afford him to go to college without loans.
Plus, if she remarries, she owes me that money immediately, and I stop paying that extra cash. I don't see that happening as age is catching up with her, fast. Karma, it turns out, is a bitch.
I hope that OPs Mom was able to turn something around and truly make his dad suffer.
Do we really know for sure it wasn't dad wearing the cosplays?
That's my head canon.
Still lucky
I interpret it as being a depressing situation where he's cheating in part because he isn't attracted to her and she can tell and so is desperate to try anything even though it never works because being unwanted makes her feel bad.
