[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I am divorced and want you to know how much empathy I have for you.  Your ex has very questionable judgment (as does the AP) and you have a right to be upset.  It is woefully premature to involve another man in your kids’ lives so quickly.

I don’t think you need to cover for your ex-wife.  You can say without judgement Mom had an affair and new guy is the guy she cheated with. Why do you need to take the high road?  You don’t have to bash her or him or provide any opinions on the matter but I would absolutely not hide what she did.  People who behave in shitty ways (and affairs are shitty even if understandable) need to take accountability.  It doesn’t protect your kids to perpetuate a lie.

Good luck. [/quote]

I agree with you and I know it is unfair to OP. To protect the mental well-being of his children he will have to sacrifice his own. Hence, she shouldn't tell them what happens. Unfortunately he has ZERO legal authority to do anything regarding his ex's lifestyle choice. He should instead pay attention to his kids behavior and mental health for any signs of distress. That's the only thing he can control. Some people will choose their partners over their children. Some will go as far as blaming their own children of they don't show similar affection to their new flames . So in this case if the kids know that dad has their back and dad never talks about Mom and her new flame they will be confident that dad doesn't give a f**k about Mom and her lover and is therefore always going to be there for them and take their side.[/quote]
