From your posts i gather your wife and you are not spending much if any time together with the girls as a family.
Exactly, we spend as much time as my W can possible stand, which is not much. We are pleasant with each other when we are together, but there is a huge strain on us when we do try to hangout around each other.

How are your kids handling the new 'seperate time' with mom and dad?
D2 seems oblivious to what is going on, I actually expect this from her. D5 is tired of us not being a family. She has asked questions like why is there always just 3 of us? Why doesn't Mommy like our church? Since this sitch started we have not been much of a family, my girls seem to be used to it now.

And i'm also guessing your wife is going out alone on weekends to be with OM?
I really do not know. I have our girls one weekend and my W works 3 to 11pm both days. The next weekend she has our girls and does whatever with them. She can be seeing him, since she does duck out of the house all the time but I do not snoop, or ask to many questions about it. The less I know the better.

If its anything like my house either I have them and go somewhere, or my wife has them and takes them somewhere.
Again, this is exactly how it works.

Is this going okay, have you noticed any behavior changes?
D5 has always been a bit of a drama queen, but she seems to be more so now. I have also noticed that she is looking for Daddy to step in and solve all her playground problems. I wrestle with that one because I want her to know that I will protect her, but at the same time she needs to learn how to handle her friends.
D2 is just a happy little girl. She is very content and happy with life. It does not take much to keep her occupied. She is my little cuddlier, which I enjoy. The one thing that I have noticed is that she is getting more aggressive. She has no problems go at her older sitter if she feels like she has been wronged. This might be do to age or it might be that her world feels unstable and she doesn't know how to express that emotion.
