Lissett, I have never posted to you before but I have to tell you I admire you for standing up to your H. I also want to tell you to stick to your guns about allowing the children around the OW. My H brought our d11 around his MOW this summer and then asked her to lie to me and not tell me who they were with. He tries to bring MOW into d11s life and it really hurts. My s14 won't have anything to do with MOW. He is extremely angry and hurt.
Our C says that children should not be around other people (for either of us) for 2 years because these new R rarely last. They are rebound relationships. Bandaids. And if the children become attached to this person and then there is a breakup, that is another loss for the children to deal with besides initial M break up. (I hope I am making sense).
My husband also says it is not his MOW fault our marriage is where it is at. He says that she didn't do this I did. Bad finances and his low self esteem....man he needs C worse than any of us.
So hang tough as far as the kids go. OW are not going to last forever. Mopsey
