[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - Glad you finally came around to the idea of adjusting your custody schedule. That's the way to go here.

Regarding the stepson, he is going to perceive any attempt to crack down on his "language" as an effort to deny him the right to his feelings of anger over the affair. You can take the power of the threat away by telling your kids now, on your own terms and in your own words, about the affair. If they don't hear it from their stepbrother, they will hear it from someone else eventually. Better that they hear it from you first.

Good luck. You're in a right mess, mostly of your own making, but you can make the best of it.[/quote]

This.  OP, you have the right to divorce and remarry and make the children shuffle back and forth and get waaaay less time with their father.  He has no say over any of that.  You forced it all on him.  What does he have the right to?  His own opinion and that's about it.  Would you really feel better if he told your children in plain language that their mother had sex with a man while he was married?  Because that's what it is.  And it's a bit rich of you to ask a child to keep your secrets for you, and to complain about language and rudeness when your own behavior is far more objectionable.[/quote]
