We were supposed to have 50/50 custody but because OM lived several miles away and she had to work at the office she couldn't take them to school or pick them up afterwards so she asked me if I could have them during the week which I happily agreed to.

What happened is she moved to a neighboring state and ended up only getting long weekends with the kids. My oldest daughter didn't want to stay for an entire weekend so she'd go for one day a week. Sometimes her mother would pick her up and drop her off the same day.

She insists that she left me and not the kids but nothing could be further from the truth. She abandoned her family and now takes care of another man's kids.

I'm not sure if my W has told our son anything about where she goes when she goes out, even if false. I don't know if he asks her. He has asked me, that is for certain.

Your story indicates perfectly the radical changes in mindset that these wayward spouses undergo. They will spin things to avoid guilt (telling you she left you not the kids). I have been reading the collection of sandi2 threads on WWs, which has been very enlightening.
