Being intoxicated changes your behavior, not your morals. Rainboh obviously wasn't completely off to the idea beforehand. It impairs judgement, but not to this cartoon amount. Anyone that has been intoxicated, or knows the mental effects of it, knows this.

She has a child, and made this choice. That's the biggest thing here. The very least Rainboh can do, is make sure the child isn't mistreated or hurt due to this. Honestly, best route of action is to simply not tell the child. In the case that this ends in the relationship ending, they could simply say it was a civil breakup based on the discontinuation of mutual feelings.

My point of view here, is that people should deal with the consequences of their actions, not avoid it, and not try to gain sympathy. Every choice has a bad side, and playing the victim only grows apathy. Rainboh made the choice, and no sympathy should be given for it. The only way to gain respect is to act in a respectful manner- which is what I advised her to do.

Cheating isn't the worst thing in the world. It's not all coming to an end. It's still not a respectable choice, and it certainly will not end in any gain in popularity when you confess it.
