So  Mary and George were prepared to have Sheldon believe his father was having sex with another woman rather than to let him know he walked in on Mom and Dad?  

If they didn't talk about, they didn't know that's what he was thinking and just thought was embarrassed at seeing his parents having sex.

So essentially the reason George becomes a womanizing alcoholic is because he can't handle the financial pressure of having 3 kids and a wife who dares to want to have a few interests of her own?  Yeah, if they go down that road it's not hard to see why BBT Sheldon has less than positive memories of his father.

Since the Coopers don't share their feelings and obviously George didn't talk to Sheldon about the situation when he walked in on George and the "other" woman and since it happened in the Coopers home.... My personal backstory was that it wasn't another woman but it was Mary with a wig on trying to spice up their love life.

And Mary's negativity about George is because she's still mad at him for dying young and leaving them. 

 

After all, when he came to Sheldon's wedding, Georgie told Sheldon he didn't really remember the way it really was when George died. Georgie said Mary went to pieces and it was Georgie who held them all together.
