I think that is honorable to take the kids and let her see them. I see nothing wrong with that.
Ya, maybe your H and OW are just soaking in their own misery together.
I'm with you. I am totally paranoid about dating and marriage again. I just want a tradional M also. But I feel the same way. If the one person I trusted most cheated on me twice so far and is divorcing me, why wouldn't someone else? Its a terrible feeling not to trust others. We are in the same boat on that one. I dread forming a new relationship right now. I know there are lots of trustworthy people out there. Its just that we are scarred right now and everything is still fresh with us and still going on.
I expect with time those feelings may change for both of us. But right now, it seems neither of us can see that far into the future. The divorce rate I believe is up over 50% now? Its getting bad. But there are good people out there. We just didn't pick them. I'm still praying for my miracle reconciliation. I haven't given up yet.
You will be ok with whatever you decide. You seem to be growing stronger all the time.
