Help With Separation Concern

Hi team. I really need some advice. Yes I am a male but could really use your valuable opinions on my concern. I have split from partner 5 weeks ago at her decision, two beautiful kids, my daughter 8, my son 4. Fairly amicable at this stage. She has a "friend" which its pretty clear will become more. Thats not my business I know. However she has him over in the evenings when the kids are asleep and they hang out. I'm presuming no monkey business going on but my question is.. Given how recent this is for the kids and their obvious need to process, heal and adjust to the new setup, if they wake up and see this guy in the house, on the couch talking with mummy, is this not going to be a hurtful, confusing and concerning thing for them impacting their healing process? Shes basically said like it or lump it but I just want your opinion on whether I am overreacting or if its truly not ok with the kids wellbeing front and foremost in my mind. Thanks for any feedback you have to give.

How can seeing two people talking whilst sat on a sofa be distressing? I'm confused?

Is your concern more around the children being affected later if he becomes a bigger part of their lives?
