Rant: The only reason why I’m not divorced is because I don’t want to be a single father.

This post contains spoilers for the movie Single Father. If you haven’t seen the movie, you should probably not watch it. I don’t care how inspiring you think it is.<br><br>I saw Single Father a while back and it really moved me. It’s not a movie I’d normally watch, but it was on the “free with ads” version of Hulu and I figured, why not? I’ve seen all the movies, I’ve read all the books, I’ve been around the block a few times. I thought I’d watch this stupid movie about a guy with a sick daughter and I’d feel a little bit bad for the guy and move on with my day.<br><br>It was so much worse than I expected.<br><br>The movie tells the story of a guy named Jim, who loses his wife and is left to raise his two daughters on his own. The movie doesn’t shy away from the fact that raising children alone is incredibly difficult, but the movie also does a great job of showing how much it can be worth it in the end. I’m not gonna lie, the movie really made me think. I’ve always been pretty close to the idea that children are a woman’s burden, and that it would be better for me to avoid marriage and raising a family. The movie made me reconsider my stance.<br><br>A few weeks later, I found out that my wife was having an affair.<br><br>My wife and I were together for a long time, and we were even engaged for a little bit. We were thinking of getting married in a couple of years, maybe when we had a little more money saved up for a down payment on a house. When I found out that she was having an affair, I was heartbroken. I knew that our relationship was in trouble, but I didn’t think it was that bad. She even told me that she still wanted to be with me, that she loved me and was sorry for what she had done. But I couldn’t forgive her, and I ended up kicking her out of our apartment.<br><br>We’ve been separated for a few weeks now, and I’ve been doing my best to convince her to give up the relationship. I’ve told her that I don’t think I can trust her again, and that I don’t think our relationship is sustainable. She’s tried to convince me to give it another chance, but I’ve been firm. I know it’s not easy for her, but I don’t think there’s anything I can do to make her happy again.<br><br>The problem is, I have a son.<br><br>My son is five years old, and he’s been living with his mother for the past couple of years. When I found out that she was having an affair, I also found out that she had been planning to leave me and take him with her. I’ve been fighting to get full custody of my son, but it’s been a difficult process. My wife has been trying to convince me to let her have visitation rights, but I don’t think that’s fair. She’s been planning to leave me and take our son with her, which would have left me as a single father raising our two daughters on my own.<br><br>I’ve been trying to convince her to give up the relationship, but she’s been resistant. She says that she still loves me and wants to be with me, but I don’t think that’s true. I think she just wants to use me for money and alimony, and then she’ll be free to do whatever she wants. I’ve been trying to convince her that it’s better for us to go our separate ways, but she’s been refusing.<br><br>I’ve been thinking about Single Father a lot lately, and it’s made me realize how much of a burden it would be to raise children on my own. I know it wouldn’t be easy, and I know it would be a difficult process. But I also know that it would be worth it in the end. I would do whatever it takes to be a good father to my son, even if it means sacrificing my own happiness.<br><br>I don’t want to be a single father, but I will if I have to. I’ll do whatever it takes to be a good father to my son, even if it means sacrificing my own happiness.
