WWYD?

EXH has been with his GF for a couple of years. I am happily remarried and our two teenage DC stay with him every other weekend and with me the rest of the time.

His GF and my DC get on really well and have built up a lovely relationship. She seems really nice and has no other children, she's mid 40's.

I have found out via friends and then confronting EXH that he is mucking around on his GF with a woman a fair bit younger who has a young baby/toddler. He lives with GF and my DC stay there and have their own rooms.

He wants to give it a go with new woman, who still lives with her husband Shock but apparently not for much longer.

EXH is not telling his GF yet and my DC still visit and are obviously unaware.

I don't really want them mixed up in this mess and also continuing to build bonds with his GF if it's all going to come crashing down. I'm tempted to say that they can't go over until he sorts his shit out. They will be hurt and upset when they find out. But in the same breath, this is not my mess or my problem to sort. I am livid for the hurt he will cause our DC, his STBXGF and I think he's thinking with his dick.

WWYD? If anything...

Oh that’s one heck of a situation.
I think it might be best to do nothing.

Is the property where he meets his DC his? Or is it shared with the GF?

Watch and wait - am erring that way atm but just feel like i'm leading the kids up the garden path. They've come home raving about their weekend with GF and i'm angry with him for being such a dick.

I don't think you can do anything without coming across badly. I think you just need to sit it out and support your DC when it all comes out. It's a really shitty situation to be in, though not as shit as it will be for his current GF Sad

Agreed and that enters my head too. It's not my place to say anything but doesn't stop me wanting too, although she probably wouldn't believe me anyway. What a mess.

It's like watching a slow-mo car crash Sad

I think you need to tell your EX to sort his shit out. He lives in his GF's house currently. Where is he going to go with is new GF? Can he afford HER and her children plus your children? That is an academic question by the way, as not YOUR problem.

Wait for the shit to hit the fan and then pick up the pieces for your DC.

I'd be tempted to tell the ex he's a selfish cunt to put your kids through yet another break up
