My world is falling apart right now I dont know what to do.
I am an 18 year old high school student and I live with my parents. My parents are married for around 20 years and there has never been any problems between them. I recently checked my mother's chat history and found that she was talking to a man. There wasnt any talk about leaving my father nor was there any talk of him visiting us but she was really cozy with him, talking like one would talk to her lover. I dont think their relationship has escalated to the stage where she wants to leave my father yet but I am worried that it eventually will.
This is even disturbing for me because she displayed clear disgust at the morals of my neighbour's mother when she left her daughter because she didnt want to live with her husband.
My mother is a cancer survivor and my father had to transfer job locations for her to get money for her treatment. I literally cannot comprehend how my mother would be ungrateful enough so as to betray my father.
I really want to believe I am wrong somewhere but I dont know how I can do that.
Any advice about what I should do in this situation will be extremely helpful.
I am sorry if i didnt type this properly I am really not in a state to take care of grammar and formatting.

It's none of your business really. Your parents relationship is their problem and they have to sort it out.

Calm down. Are you sure you are not misinterpreting the messages?

Seconded. You are 18. Get your own life now.

Do absolutely nothing.
The absolute MOST you have evidence of is that your mother has a male friend she speaks warmly to. There is nothing wrong about that - in fact, it would be pretty sad if a woman had no other close male friends than her husband.
He could be gay. He could be a childhood friend who lives 10,000 miles away. He could be someone she met through cancer support groups and they share a special-but-totally-innocent bond through that.
Without even thinking hard, I just came up with possibilities more probable than adultery.
