My Dad had an affair, AIBU to not want to hear all the details of it?

My Dad had an affair. I'm not surprised he has had an affair.

A relative of ours on my Dad's side of the family has been in hospital. I asked my Dad how is the relative and he started talking to me about the affair. I said 'I don't want to talk about it, it's between you and Mum'. Now he's not talking to me and is ignoring my messages and calls. All I want to know is whether my relative is ok/whether they are still in the hospital.

I'm sick of being brought into conversations that are inappropriate. I don't want to hear about the affair or their marriage.

I'm sorry, I have no experience to draw on but I think you are well within your rights not to want to be dragged into this.

Can you enquire from anyone else about the family member?

My mother was like this when my father left her for OW when I was just turned 21..I got burdened with all the ugly details of their marriage, going back the whole 23 years they were together.

All it did was lose any respect for my mother, my father had been unfaithful their whole marriage and my mother stayed because she valued her marriage more than her 3 children.

I wish I'd had the sense to be like you back then. Keep it up, and I hope your relative is okay.
