George’s Affair Ruins 1 Young Sheldon Key Relationship Besides Mary & George

George’s affair has been the impending disaster looming over the Coopers throughout Young Sheldon and its aftermath won’t solely affect the Coopers and their relationships, but also another key relationship external to the family. Even before Young Sheldon introduced its protagonists, The Big Bang Theory already established George’s affair as a pivotal event influencing the Coopers. However, few were as negatively influenced by the affair as Sheldon, given that he witnessed his father’s betrayal first-hand and was never able to talk about it with George before his death, according to what Sheldon told Penny in The Big Bang Theory season 10, episode 8.
