At some point, you (not her) should come up with a parenting schedule. But initially:

If you historically have been heavily involved in the parenting, then I would start going out on your own on Friday nights, and possibly Saturday nights.

If you historically have not been heavily involved with the kids, I would enjoy your time with them and suggest MOM needs a break and send her out.

Things that work are counter intuitive. IE when you have a choice, the one that you initially feel is the right choice is most likely the wrong choice, such as pursuing and professing your love for her. Come her with the issue you are facing and get multiple opinions on options and likely outcomes.
