OM is trying to "buy" your son's affection and score points with your W. Whereas, Daddy can do simple things with S3 and the boy is just as happy, if not more so.
My father had developed health problems by the time his youngest grandson was born. The little boy was about 4 when my dad passed away, and today he is a grown man. His fondest memories of being with his grandfather was them in the back yard and Dad showing him how to use a little rod&reel and pretending they were fishing. It was their special time together. I get choked up when I think what a simple little thing can stick with a child for the rest of his life.
Sandi, Does the WW typically eventually see thorough this "hes trying to buy my love and my sons love" thing?
Also I know my WW, and if i had to guess im willing to bet at the beginning of things with OM she probably told him she was sooooo in love with him and he was "the one" to save her from what i would assume she told him that i was an awful husband and father. She also told her new co workers / friends that I had already filed D way back like a year ago, which was a total lie. How do you backtrack from that as the WW? How do you maintain friendships of people she lied to about me WHEN things with OM fizzle out and shes left with the true exposure of her lies, not only to my family and friends, but when all the lies she told her new social group about me and how our situation developed come out of the woodworks? How does the WW manage the blowback of the re-written history coming to the light of truth?
