What would you do if you found out that a married friend of yours, was having consensual sex with your 18 year old child?

I will have a few choice words to share with this friend, then their spouse, and then some deep heart to heart with my child to try and get to the bottom of why this happened.

You know what really gets me about this: the fact that my now former friend would’ve seen my teenager from when they were a young child, and exactly when did my friend begin to find my child sexually attractive. The thought actually sickens me. I’d be having a serious conversation with my child.

...this question is evil. My kid would be an adult, and I'd be pretty unhappy with my friend and disappointed with my kids choices.

I used to have strong opinions against this sort of thing, but it's the infidelity I take issue with, not the fact a legal adult had an intimate relationship with someone much older than them.. I'm 31 and have been with a few ladies in their early 20's, I don't see a problem with it so long as no one involved is married or partnered up.

Claire, I always told you I will not interfere with your pivate life and I do not plan to do it now. All I want is that you consider that you are responsible as an adult for the things you do and for the damage that might result. Dear married friend, I strongly suggest to discuss things with the involved third party as it is obvious it will explode sooner than later.

Nothing, it's okay with me. I don't believe in the concept of cheating or marriage, and any sex that's consensual is harmless.

Idgaf that 18 is legal. I think if you're old and all you do is fuck around with people that young, you're a creep and can't get anyone your own age LMAOOOOO that bitch ain't my friend anymore and they're certainly not gonna be married for long.

Well— technically he/she is an adult so I couldn’t do much legally, but I would try making them see the error of their ways. The rest would be tbd.

Fucking hell, I would like to think no child I raised would participate in this, all I can say for sure is we're not friends anymore - gotta let my kid have the agency to make mistakes, getting all dramatic and heavy-handed about it will almost certainly have a negative effect
