Nowhere else to turn, the fact that the three children aren't his does not in any way excuse her parading them to yet another lover. She's done this before! What happened to the father of her children?

I thought, when I responded to your post, that you would either never reply at all, or come out with a kneejerk defense reaction. You see, I'm a grown woman, I've seen this kind of crap before. And your response, in it's big bright letters, stating that all three kids are from a previous marriage, completely reveals how desperately messed up this whole thing is. You say they are fond of you? Well, I'm sure when she first "presented" them to her current husband they were fond of him. For the love of God, and I mean that literally, not as some fuzzy generic comment... for the love of GOD, however, or whomever you consider Him to be, how on earth can you carry on with this? She's a serial adulteress! She's abusing her children by constantly presenting them with new "Dad."

A stepfather isn't someone inconsequential in a kids life, he's the man who supplanted their natural dad. The poor child tries to make sense of this... and then, in this case, a new man supplants the stepfather. How can these poor kids ever figure out who on earth to love?

Can you really be this stupid and blind?

I guarantee you, even if she did hang on to you for a while, even if she left her current rent payer (sorry I meant husband) within five years she'd be playing you for the same kind of fool. She's playing you for a fool now. The only reason you don't realise it is because you're thinking with the wrong head.
