    Your children are both old enough to have their own minds, do you really want to keep doing all the running? Stop with the cards and contact, if they do not want to see you don't force them, their loss.
    How hard is it to send a birthday text?
    What does your new partner think of the situation? Must be hard on her to see you running after two children who do not deserve you x

    Nobody leaves a marriage /relationship unless there's something wrong and it's rare that the 'fault' is all on one side. Just because it was OP that made the first move to leave doesn't mean it's all his fault.


    No, but cheating was entirely his fault and that will have been incredibly hurtful to his young adult children, it’s not just partners who feel betrayed by a cheat.
  • The kids do not care how you split the money. What's done is done; stay in contact. Don't get arsey about it. It will not help. You are old, and they are young. Be wiser than them. It's your job.
