My 19 yr old has been talking to a younger married friend of ours

The wife called me in shambles a few days ago because she needed someone to talk to about that fact that she thought her husband might be cheating on her.  We had just come back from vacation and it was very sudden. I had no clue that my 19 yr old daughter would have anything to do with that until today. They haven't done anything so far physically that I know of but talk on the phone which is bad enough as far as they've told us.  The husband came over to my house earlier today to ask my husband if it was okay for him to pick our daughter up from the airport because he is interested in her and that is how we found out she was the person of "interest". The nerve of him, what did he think we'd say. He isn't the ideal person for our daughter or anyone else. He's married with three young children. He must be out of his mind!  After talking to my daughter about the significance of wrecking a marriage and breaking up a family, she decided that she will back away from this guy and not pursue him.  The married guy said the same thing. Somehow it was all to easy and now I'm really worried.  My husband told the marreid guy we all can no longer be friends in order to avoid the awkwardness of everything.  The wife still does not know who the person of interest was and I sure don't want to tell her.  I feel horrible that my daughter would have anything to do with some of the pain she is feeling.  I hope she doesn't call me anytime soon because I am stumped...

was the 19 yo trying to break up the marriage ?  I agree that the older male should not be near your family since he should know better with having 3 young children himself.

She deserves to know. Your daughter is an adult, and needs to see how hurt this woman is, because of their actions. She needs to own up, and be responsible for the pain she has caused this woman. I personally would tell her.

Wow, I'm sorry mama. That is awful, I really wouldn't know how to address the whole situation, But I do agree that the woman should know it was your daughter. Would you want to know if it was the other way around ? I personally would. Is she close with your daughter at all too? Also if her husband is now not allowed around(which I agree with), she's going to start getting suspicious & then may be upset you didn't tell her!

Awful situation, I'm sorry !!!! I hope ur daughter does stay away

Terramarie, I'm afraid it would hurt her more if it's somone she knows.  I just hope it doesn't escalate.

 I agree with both you and Terramarie on this..However, I would be concerned that the wife would get angry with you for not telling her since she confided in you. I'm sorry. This has put you in a rough spot.

How old is this man? A 19 yr old should be having fun, not takin on a step mama roll! And that's where that would go! I personally think its best to wait til you have your own kids then maybe date a man with kids.(if youre not married to your kids dad!) Lol i think your friend needs to know too. They need to mend their marriage, knowing all the facts.

Ouch.  I just found out my DH was having an emotional affair with a co-worker.  Your friend deserves to know, though I'm not sure I would willingly tell her the "other woman" was your DD.  Get your friend the book "Not Just Friends"... it's helping me out a lot.
