Keep yourself busy – do some cleaning, engage in a hobby, hang out with family or friends. You need to trust her. A relationship without trust is dead in the water.
It is, especially in the way you're doing it (quasi step dad role); the relationship is super new and like most starting relationships isn't likely to last (just the odds), but the kids are getting attached. It's unfair to the kids. That's why kids shouldn't even meet the partner until the relationship is well-established, a common ballpark is 6 months.
Also you're not actually dating, which is the part you're missing. You come over, function like a roommate/ jr stepdaddy helping with household tasks, and she decompresses in her usual manner at the end of the day, as if you didn't exist. You. Skipped. Dating.
Spray him with a squirt bottle if he ever brings it up again ??
Disgusting
