I've become a single parent overnight.

I posted last week that SO is taking on a new schedule this week. He had been working 9-5 M, Th, Fri, and Sunday and Saturdays 6a-2p for 13 years. His issue with that schedule is that he is supposed to have skids EOW but hasn't really stressed that BM have them every weekend since he'd be working anyway. The new opportunity he has is 4p-midnight M, T, and W and overnight Th and Fri. His rationale for testing this out is that he wants to have time on the weekend with skids like "normal" families.

When does the sacrifice become too much on both ends?

I have been living with my SO for going on 2 years. He has custody of his 2 sons (14 and 8 years old) from his marriage and has a 3 year old boy who lives out of state with his mom. My main issue is not so much with the kids as it is with the ex wife. I have refused to trash talk her, though I really dislike all the crap she has pulled (she just filed for an order of protection alleging that SO has been physically and emotionally abusing her and the boys for the past 9 years, which comes on the heels of the report that she filed stating he tried to run her over while he was with me).

I need advice

Since I've gotten into a relationship with SO, I feel that SS8 and SS12 have at times pretended to be sick. However, lately SS* has been really going at it at least on a weekly basis. His complaints range from he has a "tummy ache" to he doesn't feel well.

Introduction and Hello

I am in a relationship (and living with) a wonderful man who has 3 sons, custody of 2. I'm going to try my best to capture our story in a nutshell. My SO is originally from another country, where he met his ex wife. She was from America and the way he tells it, he was not interested in her initially, but she was a little aggressive. At the time, he was heavily into Christianity, and though he says she was not his type physically, he felt that she was a good person overall and he married her. After getting married, she became pregnant with his first son.
