I don't know what will happen in the future. I would hope anyone I am in love with will understand the relationship my kids have with their mother and the place in my life that fits. If not, I'm not sure I could truly love that person.
Generally I find that my stbx and I operate with the same rules. She is a bit more lienent than I but we both know that and respect each other's position. My stbx is very respectful of the fact it is "my house" and asks now before doing anything.
It's weird.... I admit it. But it's working. Why screw with it?
