Parenting Stress Isn’t An Excuse For Affairs

  • John Delony framed marital stress with kids as normal and expected, not an excuse for infidelity.
  • He emphasized agency: poor choices remain choices even amid marital pain.
ADVICE

Stop, Disclose, And Accept Consequences

  • Stop the affair immediately, tell your wife everything, and resign or remove yourself from the work relationship to act with integrity.
  • Accept that legal, business, and marital consequences may follow but doing the right thing is necessary.
ADVICE

Schedule Help For Your Wife

  • Make counseling appointments and secure short, incremental time away for your spouse to rebuild trust in caregivers.
