It’s overrated, especially if you didn’t ask for it and if you have kids. Becoming a “part-time” father and seeing your kids only 50 % of the time when you were involved 100 % in their lives daily sucks.

You’ll have to find a way to forgive her, and yourself. At the end of the day, it’s for you, and no one else. Time helps, but you will have moments of sadness. Keep pushing forward. Why? Because you must. You can’t go back and undo anything that has been done, but you can change today and put yourself in a better position for tomorrow.
