Honestly don't do anything. Don't get into his problem, and if he does, then it's your parents problems, not the kids problems. So just go on with your daily family life, and if something happens and it is true, don't blame it on you because you didn't do anything. Only your parents will deal with it since it is their problem.

I agree. You getting involved will only worsen the problem. Maybe talk to your Dad about it, but I wouldn't go any further than that or it might end badly for them because you got into their own marital business.

I wouldn't even talk to him about it. Just go on with your life and hope for the best.

I agree with the above posters, that isnt something I would get into. What if you're wrong? How bad would that be? IMO, just play it calm. Not your problem.

Well, what type of suspicious things? and I kind of agree with what was said above. If you start trying to sort things out by yourself then it's likely that they'll become more messy. Until you're sure that there's something going on I would maybe keep out of it, keep an eye on your Dad but there's no need to bring it up if you're not 100%. I don't think it's right saying it's not your problem, it will still affect you if there is something going on but getting involved will mess things up more. Like Aaron said if you're worried that something is going on then maybe bring it up with your Dad, I'm sure he'd understand and if nothing is going on then that's fine, end of.

Getting involved is probably the worst thing you could do. When my parents split up and it came out that my dad had been cheating, I just stepped back and let them handle that themselves. Of course I was a little younger, but as much as I wanted to but in, I just stepped away from the mess. Don't take measures into your own hands, if it's untrue then you could create quite the mess.

u shouldn't have much interest in your parents relationships, focus on people your own age unless ur parents are makin rules u don't like or something else that actually effects you.

Why wouldn't he have interest in his parents relationship? They aren't just two adults that that he happens to know or be associated with, they're his nuclear family. The people who he lives with and has been raised by. Of course he'll have interest in the relationship and want to do something; however that isn't the best thing to do.
