Never really thought about it from that angle, 'what if it was a male friend doing this'.
If it was a male friend, there'd be no kids involved and I could cut them out of my life completely.
When I first found out about the OM I wanted to hit him, but when I rationalised the possible consequences of that action ( ie record not being able to teach), weighed up against the work I've put in I stopped myself.
No matter how bad you think you're getting screwed over, the kids have got to come first and i'm lucky I guess that even though I hate the situation, I still get on with my wife, I still get on with her well enough to be friends.
That's a good thing IMO, no matter what type of R I have with my W in the future, whether it's as husband and wife or co-parenting friends.
