My WH and OW wanted us to all get together while we were on vacation and take all our kids to an amusement park. I had to point out to my WH that the kids would know something was up, especially given that just 2 weeks earlier we had taken the kids to an amusement park close to where we live, and WH was all over me the entire day. He certainly wouldn't act that way with OW right there, and did he think his kids were dumb? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />
This is the same man who just before we left for that vacation asked OW to wait for him, until he finished raising his kids and could leave me. He told her to pick a date in 2010, and they'd get married.
Did he think his kids wouldn't remember? That they wouldn't know that he'd been involved with her all that time?
I can say that the only time I totally lost my temper with my WH was the one day I came home from being out one day alone (on that same vacation) and saw my WH walking down to the park with our youngest child. He had sworn to me that she wouldn't be in the same town we were staying in and that they'd both make every effort not to "accidentally" run into each other, but I knew he was walking down there with my son to meet her. She had called him that morning while we were in the car, and they made arrangements to meet there, with me sitting right next to him.
I followed him down, got to where I could see where he had gone, and called him on his cell phone to ask him what he was up to. He said he was at the park with our S, conveniently forgetting to mention that my S was sitting on OW's lap at that moment.
Don't try to understand it. There is no understanding it. Just do what you can to protect your kids from that kind of insanity, because a WS is in no position to protect them.
