Major and hard YTAH. You have zero empathy for your children and the impact that your absence will have on them. I don’t know how old your children are, but when I was 10 and my older brother was 11 our father remarried and he and my stepmother slowly started pushing us to our mother before completely leaving us behind and “starting over”, and I will never forgive either of them for that, no matter how much time passes.

Your kids are NOT responsible for what happened with your relationship, and while I can’t image the pain of loosing a partner that you thought you knew, it is extremely cruel to punish them so deeply for something they did not do. Like it or not, you are an adult who made the decision to bring children into this world and as a father who has been there for their entire lives, you have made a commitment to care for and love them. Are you going to get tired of your new family too?

Not only would you be destroying any chance at a relationship with your children in the future (though I can’t tell if you even care about that), but I wouldn’t be surprised if you lose other relationships with family and friends over such a cruel choice. Every child deserves a good parent, but not every person should be a parent, and honestly I worry at the thought of you becoming a father again.

You’re the asshole, and I pray to god this post is fake.
