Tug of love
I had an affair with someone for 12 years before we officially got together two years ago. But I think his wife wants him back - every Saturday, when we collect his children, he chats with her for half an hour while I wait in the car for him. The same thing happens when we drop the children home. He says it's because he's trying to keep the peace and if he stopped doing it she would be difficult when it came to seeing his children. Then on Wednesdays he spends all evening with his children and his wife. Should I be worried?

Not particularly, although I'm not sure why he has to spend four hours in the marital home. Why can't he take the girls out during that time? But if that's the arrangement, that's the arrangement, and most men will do anything to keep the peace when it comes to childcare issues. It probably doesn't mean anything.
On weekends, don't go with him to collect and deliver the children. That way, you won't be left sitting in the car. Don't make a big fuss about this; just say it's easier if he goes on his own. Use the time to do something else. Use the Wednesday evening to do something else too. Go and have a drink with your mates or go and catch a film. That way, you'll keep him on his toes wondering what you are up to!
