Betrayal 3 My father. I've always had a difficult relationship with him. He never really cared...

Divorce isn’t a failure, you gave it your best shot.

Things end and we need to move on, I know I didn’t fail at marriage, I tried and gave it my best, two people have to make it work.

You can’t stay in something that’s making you so unhappy.

New beginning can be beautiful 💞✨

You’re doing the right thing for yourself 🥰

I had both parents much your father. Nothing I never did was right or good enough. I finally cut ties completely with them when I was in my late 30s and I was never sorry for doing so. It saved my sanity. Both are gone now and I've never missed either of them. I'd bet your father's never going to change. Save your sanity and leave him behind.

Well, no one really gets married thinking its a specified time contract. Its one thing if there had been unhappiness, it was discussed, and an agreement was made. But to go behind the spouse's back is cheating. Its selfish in that it also deprives the other spouse the opportunity to play (what's good for the goose, is for the gander as well...)

Its a total shame that your father was not supportive of you.

People on the outside looking in never see the whole picture. He can't cope with it but it isn't your responsibility to make him understand. He either supports you or not. Do what makes you healthy.

I have 2 boys and 2 girls. All are supported equally and given love and advice. That is what a father should be

Divorcing him was the best thing you could have done. It's time for you to move on to newer and better things. If your dad can't see that, it's too bad.
