As I sit here and continue dwelling on Wife and OM I force myself to switch gears and contemplate the direction life has steered my.
How do I talk to my 8 and 5 year old daughters about OM. Now wife has introduced OM to her family there will be a lot more encounters with him.
Kids are perceptive and I think when wife introduced OM to them as a "work friend" I'm things it could get squid if girls start to see affection being passed back and forth between Mom and OM. Wife is only concerned about her happiness right know probably thinking the girls do not need any more information than what has been provided about OM.
I disagree and need to ask the question: do I talk to the girls and lay it on the line " this is mom's new .......Friend ......boy friend......lover.....partner......you get my point. What do I say to the girls? I want to be open about what is going on and to be one step ahead of wife in this conversation, I do not feel wife will talk to girls about OM.
Comments please.
PS I was talking to my girls about mom moving out long before the inevitable. I asked my wife if girls ever asked her what is going on, wife said the girls have said nothing to her ever. I told her they ask me lots and lots of questions, and every day I ask them if they have any question for me to answer. I swear this open communication between my girls and me kept the shock to a minimal as I gave them a play by play of what to expect each and every day.
