Um no you have to accept that you will be last place. No decent parent puts the new romantic partner in front of their kid. Ever. If you go into a relationship like this you shouldn’t be with someone who has kids.
You will be last place, always, and you will need to be ok hearing about the deceased wife and showing compassion. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, but going into it with an attitude that you will someone ever be equal to his kids is ridiculous. You can still have a wonderful relationship and lots of love without being first.
My DH knows that our young kids are my #1 priority and he's fine with it as he feels the same way. We still have a very active love life and have quiet time together and it all works out.
Define priority. I find people scream “ kids first!” but have little idea what that means in life?
Pretty easy - my little ones can't feed or clothe themselves and my DH is reasonably competent doing those things.

BS ! If your kids were your # 1 priority you wouldn’t have husband # 2 your actual priority is yourself and everyone else is just a pawn for how they benefit you and your image your kids included.

My only advice is don’t allow all your time to be family time. His free time will be limited but it’s important to see him a way from the kids. It’s easy to fall in love with kids if you’re a kid person and a guy who is a good dad, but you really need to see how you fit with him outside of that. Loving his adorable kids can make it easy to ignore important things and stay around longer than you should. I know btdt. Take it slow and be honest with yourself.
