{{{TxMom}}} you got some really good advice on sleeping arrangements. Stuff that I hadn't thought about as my H hasn't asked to spend the night with kids or take them for a whole weekend.
But yeah, why should you leave your own house for goodness sakes? He made a decision to leave your home and marriage to start this thing with a 25 y.o. If he wants to leave then he should stay in a one-bedroom. If he doesn't like it then tough, grow up and take the lumps.
Don't let him push you around right off the bat. You might think you are 'helping' him or 'taking care of him', that's how I used to feel, but you are only setting up bad habits for future. What about later on down the road, (if you don't get back together and are D'd) and you wanted some company for the night? Sorry to be so blunt but c'mon girl, don't give in without a fight. As for holidays, take them, take them all. Have him around ALL the time if you can. The more he's around you, the more pis*ed off OW will be and the more her true colors will show. And when she starts whinging then your H will start waking up. Meanwhile, your kids get special memories with their dad. You can do whatever you like, you don't even have to lift a finger, sweetie. This part of the script is already written. Good luck.
