Recently found out my dad has an affair outside of marriage. Some of my friends(the few I’ve spoke to) tell me it’s ‘normal’ and some say their dad’s have cheated before too. Should this be considered normal/normalized? Is it a cultural/social thing we have? we shouldn’t be surprised/judge if a married man cheats anymore?

(In the Ghana workplace context) I also hear of those married men with workplace affairs stories and it’s also eating into the perception I have that maybe everyone actually just considers this the norm? Or that extra marital affairs are fine (“oh it’s normal”) for men, would like to hear your thoughts on this reddit
