I feel this is the question:

"What is the RIGHT thing to do?"

If there is an AFFAIR and you want your Spouse back. DO NOT PURSE.
If there is NOT an AFFAIR and you want your spouse back. DO NOT PURSE.

GO shopping for YOUR mother, take the kids. They will see your behavior. If they want to do something for their mother, they will bring it up to you.

My Dad took my kids out Fathers day shopping (not my ex-wife). I got lots of candy smile. My Ex-wife is going to get whatever the kids pick out with me, and I have bottomless pockets this time smile This goes against "The Right thing to do" but it is inline with the therapist. There is a double standard, but I can be patient ( at least for 6 more months...lol)
