Me (13 years old at the time): Dad, Mom’s cheating on you. I saw her making out with this man.

Dad: Listen here, princess. The guy’s filthy rich, and when you have money, it’s normal to have a hot mistress like your mom.

Me: But aren’t you jealous?

Dad: laughs

I was flabbergasted, lmao.

    “The guy’s filthy rich” part doesn’t sit well with it just being “consenting adults”

    Would all parties be okay with the situation if money wasn’t a factor? Moneyed society can add coercion to places that would otherwise be amoral.

    (Yes, it would be amoral as in without moral consideration. As opposed to immoral or against morality)

      Oh you’re definitely right about that. I’m just saying the default position, in my view, should not be to assume duress.
