It should make you feel better that he is acting so odd. It shows you that he is sick right now. This is his disease.

My H did similar things. Said how much he wanted to see the kids but then choose guy things instead. This is some form of a mid life crisis, and they want to be juvenile kids.

You can not point out to them that they are acting childish you need to support them. I know it crazy!! But OW is telling him how great he is. She is telling him is super to go to the gym vs. spend time one on one with his kids. You just need to fake that its a good idea.

My H went to Florida for the 3rd time in 6 months this weekend to paddle board. Meanwhile we are now paying two rents. It is insane. But I told him that he it was so cool that he knew how to paddle board.

Regarding his reaction to breakfast - he is looking for ways to say that you are controlling. Yes he was over reacting but you need to try your best to get him not to over react. He needs to justify his behavior and is grabbing at straws. dont give him any.

My H wanted to take us for breakfast one morning at 10A. I hesitated for a second but then I said "sounds great". I feed the kids a good breakfast at 6:30 and then they ate crap with H at 10a.

You need to tell H everything he does is great because OW is telling him that.

I know it makes no sense.

Hang in there. Kill 'em with kindness, for your boys
