I think the kids would be perfectly fine but I'm not going to make any permanent changes to the visitation schedule. I am thinking once a month or so, I'll ask my ex if I can switch a Saturday with a Friday and then take Saturday off from work. That way I still get some good time with the kiddos and keep the SO content. If this idea doesn't work for my SO, then she's out. I'm so tired and drained from all of this that it is starting to cause some depression. I don't want to live like this this. My kids are young and are going to be around for a while. They aren't older and off to college in a year so I need to just keep my priorities straight and focus on what means the most to me. My kids are happy when they are with me and they miss me when they are not so I'd like to keep it that way. I don't want any resentment towards me based on relationship choices. Just because the kids are young doesn't mean they don't understand what's going on.
