If they catch their parents cheating, they get the same relationship decreases with both their parent and the paramour and, if left to their own devices, may even attack their own parent or who the parent is having an affair with. They don't get any visible memories from this aside from any meetings, but effectively act like a Sim who has been cheated on. They'll either cry or get angry at the parent. However, if one of their parents had died and they somehow didn't know about it, it could cause needless drama if they consider looking for love again as cheating.

=== Jealousy ===

{{see also|Fury}}
{{see also|Fury}}

Whenever a [[Sim]], who has a crush on or is in love with another Sim watches the latter partake in some romantic [[Interactions|interaction]] with another, jealousy occurs. In ''The Sims 2'', if ''[[Nightlife]]'' or later is installed, jealousy also triggers [[fury]]. This doesn't take into account whether or not the feelings are one-sided, which may be messy for unrequited crushes. If ''Nightlife'' or later is installed, and a Sim catches another Sim flirting with their partner, they will also be furious at their partner, regardless whether their partner rejects the flirt.

==Repairing relationships==
Getting caught in an affair won't always spell the end of a relationship, but it can make bringing it back up extremely hard, especially if the scorned Sim is more interested in fighting with the other one (this could cause the other to lose their own Crush/Love markers, and even trigger Fury to make things that much harder).
