I asked that question because.. I live with my BF he is always visiting his kids at his ex-wife's house they go on outings together like bowling with the kids.. plays.. park..swimming etc.. they talk on the phone and txt thru out the day.. since we have been together he has even taken a vacation with ex wife and kids for a week.They share custody so he has them for a week and she has them for a week etc (not like he only sees them every other wkend). The kids are young but we have a child together as well who will be turning one.
