Help! My father is cheating on my mother

Question: I am a 27-year-old man and it's been two years since I came to know about my father's extramarital affair. I came to know about it accidentally when he was talking on the phone. I cannot talk about my concern because I never had any issues with him since childhood. I mostly used to talk to my mother for everything and conversations with my father is rare and only when needed.
I cannot tell this to my mother because she is very emotional and I know how she would react. She would take emotional decisions. Due to various reasons, I resigned from my job three years ago and am preparing for an alternate career. I am moving on well with my preparations but once in a while, I get to see my father talking to his girlfriend and get disturbed and distracted for some days.So can you please suggest me how to proceed.-By Anonymous ?
