Closer, our situations are somewhat similar. I can tell you that this other male telling her what a good step dad he will be is him sweet talking your wife IMHO. I know because when I was a single guy and back in my wild days, I used that line when I was lonely. My current wife had 3 kids when we met. I had been sober for 5 years when we got together. Being a step dad is not that easy. My step kids father was a scum bag who had nothing to do with them, and it still was hard. When the real father is a good dad and still in the picture all the time, it is even tougher for the step dad. Alot of times it works out. Alot of times it doesn't. Be the best dad you can be to your kids. That is all YOU can do at this point. That is my opinion.
