Oh man, my3, that is the FIRST thing I thought of. OW was bitter he was talking to her and got things started. PUKE. But...but...it might not have even been happening, but sad that every single one of us goes 'there' first. Sorry morgan.

Ok, breathe. What can you do if he says he is going to the beach house? Besides, roping him up and throwing him in the basement, I suppose the high road/DB way is to announce calmly but firmly that he knew you are totally against it, and that you don't want it to happen. Maybe bring up a formal separation with guidelines (but all of this while the kids are around, waiting to be picked up? Not sure about that). But then tell him to please keep the kids safe and happy.

Question: Do your kids get upset when they leave you? I know if this happens to me, my girls will be upset when H takes them. They are very attached to me (and to him as well, but always pick me LOL) and this won't be easy on them. What do you say to comfort them?
