Sorry, didn't answer the question about me and an OW in the future and how to expose the kids.
Basically, right now for me, no exposure to the kids until after D is finalized. That may change if I'm in a R, IDK.
So for the age of the kids, I think that my R would have to be pretty serious for me to expose the kids to it. I haven't thought too much about it, but I'd try to prevent multiple people having a role in their lives as a pseudo-stepmom. If they were older and understood relationships, marriages and break-ups maybe. However, I would try to prevent any connection of the kids to an OW until the point that I was comfortable that the relationship may go somewhere. No comparison to my current sitch, but I would hate for even a hint of the same feelings being brought up if/when that relationship with OW would dissolve.
Again, haven't thought about it much; just brainstorming. Like I said, I'm a pretty conservative guy when it comes to these types of things. Its just how I feel about it.
