Man has a year long affair with OW then leaves wife and teenage children. He goes to stay with OW, then because of lockdown has nowhere else to go so moves in. Man's family including siblings and parents want nothing to do with OW and refuse to let her come to their houses.

During the affair and lockdown Man has told everyone about what a great person the OW is. Would not hear a word of criticism about her and defended her all the time. OW wants to get married, Man considering it.

Now in last few months things have changed. He has started criticising OW to others and her opinions. Doesn't seem to value her viewpoint as much anymore. Is now actively looking for somewhere else to stay and seems to take any opportunity to be out of the house. Now talking about wanting to get own place.

I think they are better off apart. Split assets 50/50 and get on with co-parenting as best they can. Trying to screw each other over is only ultimately going to hurt the kids, who are not young and will know what's going on.

His dating pool will be bigger if he's not married.
