Cheating on your spouse is an awful and often unforgivable act, depending on the circumstances, but it doesn't mean a couple can't be civil toward each other for the sake of the kids. But once a marriage comes to an ugly end due to a severance of trust, it's natural to set up some strict boundaries to make the civility work. For instance, if you cheated on your ex, you cannot, I repeat, cannot expect them to be responsible for your affair partner's kids. This should go without saying, right? Well u/Secret-Use5345's ex-wife thought differently. Even though she and her affair partner both destroyed their respective marriages, she still felt entitled to demand that u/Secret-Use5345 babysit her affair partner's children and include them in 'family traditions' so that their shared children could bond with her new stepkids. The audacity is pretty impressive. How delusional can you get?

"Plus she CHEATED. Step kids of the ex are a constant reminder of the fact she cheated and then married him." —Spare-Imagination132
