Wife turned the kids against me and forced me into a separation. Give up, divorce at 41 or (continue to) beg and grovel for another chance? If its the first option, how the hell am i supposed to find someone new at my age?

pic was my wife's reaction when i said I was devastated at what's happened

Do what you want. How the fuck should we know?
>>
>>34444230
It's an advice board, and I feel hopeless and sad and don't know what to do
>>
How did she turn your kids against you?

>>34444228
>another chance
What happened?
>>
>>34444274
got them to 'vote' to throw me out. Said I yelled at them too much. I never hit them once, but apparently yelling at them for doing things bad/wrong is abuse

>>34444279
She had the kids line up and tell me they were done with having me around. I was a stay-at-home dad so they didn't have to go to public school, and then they decided I wasn't needed.

>>34444232
I guess you’d have to start with relevant background information without rambling on too much.
>>
>>34444285
You educated the kids and they voted you out.
Kids living van life wished they could go to public school. School isn't worse than every other option.

Sounds like you were a pack of retards.

I'm going into my first marriage at 41

OP two choices: Take the L, leave your family to "live" without you since they don't want you, and go your own way. Enjoy life. You're free now. You don't have to be a dad to those brats anymore.
Or
Fight for what is yours. They're kids, they don't know any better, and its your kob as their dad to educate them: you're the man of the house. Be assertive, take charge. Put your kids back in their place, force them to study and respect you as their dad so they can be better prepared for life. That's what dads did in the past anyway, scared us straight, and we hated them, but they sure as hell did what they can to prepare us for life.

Option 1 is preferable since modern society is set to attack dads and husbands in families, child protective this and family court that. What a headache...
Also if you leave them, why in the hell would you want another woman to replace that? Didn't you learn your lesson?!

You're actually precisely the kind of person for whom dating apps for whom dating apps help. Failing that, friends of friends are the place to start.

>>34444285
>apparently yelling at them for doing things bad/wrong is abuse
It is, yes. It would probably help for you to acknowledge that.
>>
>how the hell am i supposed to find someone new at my age?

my uncle also went through a divorce at like 50.
he found a new gf and is happily living with her now, dont give up, there is someone out there waiting for you!

>>34444285
>I was a stay-at-home dad so they didn't have to go to public school,
Oh, the abnormal weirdo household just lost its marbles completely and now you're wondering what went wrong?
>>
>>34444958
Op here.
This was really helpful. I want to fight but im fighting for people whonl are fighting against me. Its hard. As for option 1 yes its easier but starting over is not easy.

>>34445286
Thanks. Maybe its possible.

>>34444846
Doesnt work.

>>34445271
Never tried the apps. Dunno.
