WAW w/Exit Affair or WW? - Don't Want Divorce (2)

[BL42]

Mumin,

You can control her BL. Shes a selfish idiot right now (maybe always was). You need to realize she wont be following your expectations or any agreements. If you read other threads you'll see this behavior is common for WW.
What did you reply to S5 in the car?

IMO it is totally OK (and frankly I suggest) for you to calm down your kids and tell them mommy is doing fine.
Tell them you dont know exactly what she is doing but assure them she is ok. Make sure to explain to them it is in no way their fault.

Honestly don't remember exactly what I said to S5 - just tried to play it off and deflect a little. I certainly didn't give the detailed truth or speak ill of their mother. The whole point of driving past was to avoid them having an awkward encounter. The kids weren't necessarily worked up like I was, more like curious/confused. S5 is very smart and observant and knew something was up/different without me saying a word.
