It me made feel I still had my family (because I did) and everything would be ok (because it would be). It helped me, and more importantly was the right thing to do for them.

I agree today we went on a preplanned canoeing trip. I just let her do her thing, when she was on the phone, I walked off and spent time with the kids.

Im just curious if it is part of a softening. She even said "Thankyou" when we got home from the canoeing trip, though she didnt thank me personally, she used "we thankyou", as if referring to her and the kids. I just said "Yes it was fun" and walked off.
I am going to say this for the last time to make it clear. If she is having an affair then nothing you do is going to make it better. Her being nice is more then likely her enjoying a big fat piece of cake.

Having said that if you are just having fun with the kids and could give two rips about which she is doing then keep enjoying yourself.
