He Started Crying When Ex-Wife Told Him She No Longer Wants To See Their Kids
A couple of months ago, this 41-year-old man caught his wife kissing a guy on an evening out. He and his wife went years without being physical, yet she was able to make out with some random man in the heat of the moment.
He actually wasn’t that hurt by the kiss and was happy to move on, but his wife kept creating problems surrounding that event, so they got divorced.
He chose to move back to the city where he’s from, which is two hours away from where he was living with his now ex-wife, and their kids moved with him.
His ex stated it was too much of a drive for her to see their kids on the weekends, so every single Saturday morning, he’s been driving the kids to see his ex and then getting them Sunday night.
He didn’t want his kids to miss an opportunity to spend time with their mom, regardless of his own personal feelings about her.
“We’d make fun trips out of it and would take snacks, play audiobooks, have singalongs, etc, but I’d noticed they always seemed happier to be picked up than taken there,” he explained.
“I just always assumed it was because all their stuff and their main home was with me. My ex has started to cancel these weekends a bit recently; 3 of the last 5 she’s canceled.”
His ex started accusing him of turning the kids against her, stating they don’t even like her anymore.
It’s completely false; he has never once said a bad thing about his ex to his kids, let alone in front of his kids.

Bashing the mother of his kids isn’t his style. Additionally, he makes two four-hour round trips every single weekend so his ex has the ability to see the kids, and the kids can be with her.
“I’ll be honest, every Saturday after I drop them off, I cry all the way home,” he said. “I miss them so much. They are my little best mates.”
“Every night after dinner, we will all do our chores and do a different activity. Sometimes, it’s a walk in the woods behind my house, or we bake, or have movie nights, or read books together.”
He loves baking, cooking, fixing cars, and DIY projects, so he and the kids keep busy with exciting little activities.
He’s building a playhouse with them, complete with a fridge for their snacks and drinks. They’re also building go-karts from scratch, and the kids are coming up with the designs.
His life revolves around his kids during the week, so on the weekends, when he doesn’t have them, he feels like a “lost zombie” until he picks them up.
“Then yesterday, I received a short text from her saying she no longer wants to see them; all they do is ask for me anyway. They don’t have fun there, and they basically get in the way,” he continued.
“I was absolutely heartbroken for my boys, and I rang her straight away. I’ll be honest: I started crying as I felt so bad for them, and she genuinely acted like I was annoying her for wanting to get to the bottom of it. She then said, “Sounds like you don’t want them either and are just trying to palm them off at the weekends,” and hung up on me.”
“I don’t even know how I’m going to tell them this. Do I just say she’s canceled for a few weeks and see how it goes? Do I tell them the truth? How do I say it in a way that kids will understand and won’t absolutely crush them? Then I’ve got the conflicted selfish emotion of pure joy that I’ll have the whole weekend with them! It’s so selfish of me I know as they are going to be sad while I’m happy.”
