If my mother cheated on my father, the other male would get a punch in the face, in front of her, and then my father would be told.

Sure, plenty of people have the "none of my business" approach, and with friends or strangers, I agree. However, if it's family involved, even though we're not that close, I feel that is IS my business.

I'm with you! I could never imagine raising my hand to my mother but family is always your business!!!

Its not your relationship its THEIR relationship and if there is a problem there its their problem to deal with, not yours to murder over, fucking up what chance their might be to work it out.

Unless you are still a child you should realize this, so I'm still going with all talk since I don't think you are that much of a child.

Hmmmm what level of responsibility does the offending parent have with burdening you with such a secret? You keep saying that it's THEIR relationship but if it was THEIR problem only they should have been smarter about keeping ME or one of the other "violent" children out of it. I don't think you are even considering the enormous amount of guilt that has just been thrust on said child's shoulder without any consideration for THEIR feelings. Even if I wanted to mind my own "business" I would be sick inside at the betrayal and loss of family/security that I had known my entire life. This decision wouldn't be different if the marriage was happy or miserable.
