My kids are 8 and 10.

I know that he seems to have it all right now. It frustrates me to no end that he will tell me that he doesn't know what he wants but he chooses to spend so much time with her. When we are together, he seems honest but scared and confused.

I am trying to distance myself as much as I can while still remaining open. I feel that I need to be less available to him. I have stopped pursuing him and we have gone from him avoiding me and being defensive and angry to him initiating calls and talks with me. So in a sense, that is harder because as I pull away from him he opens up more to me about his conflict, which keeps me hanging.
