Last year he slept with his ex wife who he has been divorced from for seven years, they have two lovely (pre teen) children together.
There was a breakdown in his relationship with his older DC when this came to light as H and the Ex wife had an enormous falling out which resulted in him not seeing the children for several months. They are both to blame for that.
He is now rebuilding his relationship with DSC (which I've been pushing him to do) but now I'm in the difficult position of trying to rebuild trust whilst coming to terms with the fact that contact between them is inevitable until they're older.
Do I think he would do it again? I don't think so because of the destruction it caused, but he has done it once so who knows.
He seems sincerely remorseful, thankful and grateful that I'm still here and he's getting to rebuild his relationship with his other children so he would be a fool to do it again.. but i now know what he's capable of.
In terms of the ex wife I don't believe she's still interested in him, not really. Alcohol was involved.
I don't want to leave because this aside, I'm happy with my life. I want to move past it and believe it was a one off because I don't want to sacrifice the home I've built for my own DC and the financial security of having two incomes.
Or is there categorically no way this could ever work?

Is there any way forward when the OW is the ExW and they share DC?
