I don't have kids but I was one once and my parents divorced.
None of that changes their love for you. You will always be their parent, no one can take that away - they will always love you. It will be a different arrangement for sure, but kids cope and adjust and they will not have any reason to not want to be with you or see you or love you. This is a temporary thing, even if they live with her most of the time eventually they grow up and out and you will have a normal relationship with your kids forever. I didn't see my dad for awhile when he moved to a different state but by then I was an adult and we have a great relationship today via email, phone, and we get together for dinner a couple times a year. Yours are young still but nothing is going to change what they know in their hearts - that you are their dad. Kids are smart too - I knew my mom was doing wrong by my father at an early age, she had many EA and PA and I found out before i was 12. They stayed married many years after that and it continued the whole time. So I knew that she was doing wrong and she was in her own fantasy land. I didn't like her at all as a teenager and wished they would divorce so I could live with my dad actually. Now we have a decent relationship and I have a better understanding about why she did the things she did. sorry I got side tracked rambling there - basically I just wanted to respond to you because it is nice to have responses and I believe that your children will know that you love them and they will love you in return - no matter what.
