Maybe for you, but I personally can't see why someone who cheated on their significant other would want to go back to them, especially since they got caught and dumped for that. It don't make sense.
If someone cheats, it means some things in their relationship or marriage don't work out anymore and they want something different and better than what they had, which means that going back to the person they cheated on for not giving them that extra "something" they were looking for by hooking up or dating other ppl don't make any sense and will most likely have the same outcome eventually.
There's no real reason why one would cancel out the other tho. The MC works his ass off for Lily, he made it clear she's being his no1 priority at the moment, and since his marriage to her mom didn't work out, he's free to find his happiness with another woman or just fuck around without giving a shit about being in another serious commitment. Neither of those makes him a bad father, they only make him human.
Ppl who got cheated on need to understand that they went through this just bcz their partners missed something in their relationship, which means they share part of the blame in the cheating too. In our case, it's Allison's fault her man looked for comfort in other women's arms, she admitted it herself their marriage wasn't a happy one and both of them mostly ignored the other's problems, when
both of them could've gone better about it and do a lot more to save their failing marriage than what they did, so that's that.
There's no need to become over-emotional or, fuck forbid, even physically aggressive over something like this. The best solution is, IMHO, to talk things out, see where both of you made a mistake and then decide if it's worth getting back together or not. Constantly bitching about it or hating each other for this won't solve anything, it'll only make things worse.
Going back to our fictional case again, your sweet dear Allison did NOT have the necessary emotional maturity to process this information, despite admitting their marriage wasn't heading toward something good, and this is a big minus to her character, cuz I'd expect a... let's say, "very emotional and quickly to fall in love" V to lash out like that and throw everything they built together down the toilet, not her, a supposedly calm, intelligent, reasonable woman AND mother. It's the very reason why I don't understand all the appeal in her character and support for her ridiculous Kardashian-comical anger outbursts, especially since
she's easily forgiven for something Veronica went through at least once or twice, which would explain perfectly well her pushy, clingy personality.
I mean, unless you deliberately want to see her give both of them the Michael Myers or Jason Voorhees treatment and cut MC's cheating dick off afterward, I don't think that's a good idea, especially in her current state of mind.
