Wow, that's rough!

Maybe the best thing to do is go with your gut instinct. But don't try and make it work for you kids sake if you're heart's not in it anyway. And if he does end up to be playing you (hopefully not) the best thing to do is to remain civil for your kids sake. Don't let others tell you you're stupid. You can't help but feel how you do, especially if you care for him. Hopefully it works out, but if he's not right for you, don't stay and let him jerk you around. I hope this helps- I wanted to put in my two cents 'cuz I saw no one had responded yet and you look really upset. Good luck!
