Glad you decided to act.
Your wife has a screw loose and you cannot fix that.
Only she can.
All you can do is try to keep things amicable.
Good Luck

dg- strength to you man!
The smothering will not last - your stbx is way too selfish, try not to let it bother you too much.
Your babies love you, no matter what they choose to do for now. In time, I promise you, they will know which parent is upright, strong, and dependable. It's difficult to see them being manipulated, many of us have to witness this, be patient. Truth will out.
Both my boys experienced this, and many years later, they've told me wonderful things I'll keep close to my heart forever. All that tongue-biting was worth it.
DO search for "how to tell children about divorce etc." to get age-appropriate pointers and ideas. It will help.
Be strong brother.

Thanks again!!!
I will now use this site for divorce advice and learn from the experiences of others here. With children involved, this is even tougher. I have to bite my tongue and protect them from the truth, as tough as that is.
For the new people here, I want you to know that I COULD NOT have made it through the early days/weeks/months of this situation, without the support, advice, and shared experiences of the other members here.
I'm ready to start giving back and sharing support with others. I am still amazed at the sheer mind-blowing numbers of cheating spouses / significant others, out there.

Worst experience of my life. Still having a tough time dealing with this. I appreciate your support, more than I can express.
