I just want to say that no one can replace a true father. Your kids probably would prefer spending a simple day with their parents than a glorious vacation with a "friend". No contest. I know a woman who is doing this rapidly. She is so angry with her H, rightfully so, that she moved in a new man to take his place. The upheaval has been bad for the children. She thinks it is great to have a new man looking out for her and providing for her kids since it is hard for single moms to find men. It is not good for the kids. They need their dad but he is not healthy yet. Do your 180's. Show that you are the best dad and husband you can be. Put your ego aside and look at things from her POV.
