in front of the children, He does things like answering to our 8 year olds call when he called for "Mommy" and going to get our 8 year old at the bus after i specifically said i was going to go get him, then leaving for an appointment and doing things like signing the 10 yr olds progreess report when He NEVER did b4. NEVER even looked at them.
Anyone else have a stbx doing these sorts of things. We are living in the same house too. he was almost out on his ear because we were arguing alot and he wouldnt quit it in from of the boys. but he dragged out some, what i know now were crocodile tears , and i took him back and we went thru our 2nd attempt at counseling, this time with a pastor. so we filed an extension to reconcile . the pastor ended up going on sabatacle and we ended up having to decide whether to proceed or not. he says he "does" want a divorce. im now ok that he does cause i doubt that he ever did love me when he does things to get to me like this.

Yea sort of the same thing here. When he was served the petition for divorce described him as a neglectful spouse and father. I believe his lawyer advised him that if he didn't want to give a great case for Sold custody he'd better get busy and come see the kids. He averages only 4 hrs a week. Pathetic.

Sounds like he is either feeling guilty or he's trying to 'win' the kids over to him. My stbx did something similar when I told him it was over but we still continued to live together for a while. He, who normally worked 60-70 hours a week, suddenly became Mr. Mom, cooking home cooked meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner, cleaning. Suddenly doing things for our son he never did before. I'm sure there are some combination of emotions going on there - guilt, wanting to 'impress' me, trying to fix the marriage by doing something productive, trying to make sure our son still liked him. Whatever. Don't worry, I don't think it will undermine you with the kids. They might be slightly confused and wonder what's going on but on the other hand, they may not even notice.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
