Jensen's offspring are both adults, at some point the relationship changes from one of total responsibility and dependence to one among equals.

We should really stop with this "just think of the children" knee-jerk

I have friends who as an adult one of the parents had an affair and and it was pretty tough for them, and the parent child relationship has never been the same again.

I don't know why you seem to be so against considering Jensen's children. Some people really value the commitments of marriage and see adultery as something very serious and damaging.

I disagree. Even as an adult I would be distraught if one of my parents decided to cheat on the other. Your children being adults doesn't mean you no longer have a responsibility towards them.

So, they are not allowed to be upset if daddy decided to cheat on their mommy after long marriage with some chinese honeypot? I hope you are not planning on start your own family any time soon

Forget the children. Please think about the shareholders!

I notice quite a few people worry more about the financial implications (nVidia's stock price) than the ethical ones.

From the horse's mouth:

>> My actions hurt her and our children.

Parents (or "equals") can hurt and and disappoint others at any age - including adults.
