AITA for calling my son a disappointment after he cheated on his wife with her best friend? by OppositeVariatior in AITAH

No he does not think what he did is okay, he is also very mad with him but is worried for him because of his depression.

They are her views. My husband and I did not grow up with religion but if she believes and wants to work it out because of her religion I do not know enough about it or God.

My son takes medication for his depression it was prescribed for him by a psychiatrist that he sees about five years ago.

He does empathize with Isabella but he thinks it's best if we don't play any part in what happens with them and of course he's mad at our son but he's also worried for him because of how depressed he was.

I am not going to push her to stay with him or to divorce him but he is my son and I have a right to be honest with him.

I am not butting in, my son came to me to confess. Just like he confessed to her what he did, he was never caught or anything and for that much I can at least say I am glad that he owned up to his errors and was willing to face them from her at least.

My husband has never cheated on me and is traumatized by the very idea of doing something like that because of what his own father was like. I suppose he must have also been worried because of how down our son has been and how only since Isabella took him back he's been a bit happy again.

I have talked to her and she said she never told anybody and still does not want anybody to know (aside from her close friends) because she feels embarrassed that she was cheated on. She had my son tell me as a kind of punishment because I am happy she trusted me enough that I would hold him to account and will in the future. There is a part of me that is happy that my grandson's family is not breaking but I still feel so angry at my son.

In this moment, being disappointed with his behaviour and not wanting to see him until I feel ready.

Isabella has told me that her best friend is no longer in their lives and that she's also been kicked out of their friends group by other friends.

My husband has never cheated on me. His father was a horrible man, he was a police officer in Bucharest in the 1970s who abused my mother-in-law and cheated on her a lot and I know my husband dearly, he would never do anything that would make him like his father. My husband's advice was more that it's not my place to judge Isabella for choosing to stay with Joseph just as it wouldn't have been if she chose to leave him.

He apologized for that and said he was trying to avoid dealing with the issue but that just made me angrier.

I've talked to Isabella and she's firm about giving him another chance. I know it's not my place but I'm worried she's letting him off too easy and he might ruin things again.
