I think he wants the kids when he wants them and he wants to save money both. Probably the weekends when he is not planning to be out of town with the OW, and def. wants to save money because he is very cheap!!!

He does want to paint me as depressed & dysfunctional and that is his game plan to combat me so he will not have to pay for home schooling. My main problem with that will be that because of the kid's LD's they are behind in reading/writing esp. my D8, my son is not that bad I don't think, pretty close to public school level esp. not bad for a child with dyslexia (he reads all the time!). H for example, was 4th grade writing level when he was tested at the end of college. So I don't know how they consider that when they are not at grade level which they won't be b/c they are dyslexic/autistic. My son is doing much better than he would be if he was public schooled, but how do you prove that??? H is counting on the fact that the testers will say that public school is the best solution for the kids.

I do have to wonder if he wants basically any custody at all judging by the way he is not home but a few hours a week. I believe the OW has young kids b/c I figured out they spend their weekends at McDonalds always b/c of the ballpits I am guessing so she can take her young kids there so she must have kids age 2-8 years old (creepy that she takes her young kids along on their affair! yuck! so she has poor judgment as well as poor morals) so maybe he does plan to start over with her kids?

My thing is I don't believe that relationship will last: a married woman with kids. My H is pretty dysfunctional: a total slob, anger issues, cheap, etc. eventually I would figure one or some of these will surface. She's a married woman with kids having an affair with a married man with kids so I'm guessing she has some issues of her own as well....I would think their affair is going to implode at some point; it would be a matter of when and not if they will break up at some point. Of course, if it's after the divorce that won't do me much good. Karen43
