Pulling my hair out at people not understanding

Some people do not appear to understand the seriousness of a married man paying for sex behind his wife's back. I've thought and thought about how to convey this but it doesn't appear to sink in. I've finally decided to ask them 'what advice would you give your own daughter if her partner had done that to her'. Is this wise? One of them doesn't have a daughter, has a son though. The man has a daughter.

Why do you, or whoever it is that's asking, care about what anyone else thinks? If your husband's cheating is unacceptable to you, your opinion is the only one that matters.

STOP. Get off the merry go round.
They.do.understand.

They just don't want you to know that for some reason.

Most likely because they are vile. And because they are in the side of the scummy cheat.

You never have yo explain to anyone why obviously hurtful behaviour is hurtful.

They know.
It's you that needs to understand.

Consider it this way if I kick a puppy, and you tell me ints wring to kick the puppy, 'because...'

Like, wtf are you doing? It's madness.

Kicking puppies, obviously wrong and hurtful. Same as cheat on your wife with prostitutes.

Everyone knows this. If they act like they don't, they are taking the piss. And they probably don't want good things for you. They are toxic and you need to remove them from your life.
