Redditors were divided, offering both sympathy and criticism.
- A real husband would stay and talk to his wife, who is facing exactly the same realization but with also facing the daunting task of carrying those twins inside her too. He’s just run away, not considering anyone else’s feelings, traumatizing his current kids! What a selfish man. Hope the kids take after mom. © kirby60 / Reddit
- You are absolutely right OP, even if he comes back apologizing, he already showed who he is, and who wants to have a person like this by your side? Congrats on the babies.
It’s his fault really. If he didn’t want to risk 6 kids he should’ve used protection & got a vasectomy. © BayouMan2 / Reddit - This guy is tired at 45 and just discovered that he’s going to be 63 when his youngest kids are adults. She’s going to be just reaching the age range he’s in now when that happens… I’m not saying you should leave your family by any means, but man. He’s going through a mental breakdown, he’s not necessarily the devil. © dRaven43 / Reddit
- I have a ton of kids, my first was born when I was 30, the last when I was 43… I’ll gladly take the downvotes. For me, the prospect of having a baby right now at 46 would be the nail in my coffin. I absolutely, without a doubt, could not do it again. It’s too much.
- So 6 kids is intense, but with that being said any man that leaves his kids is not a man worth keeping in your life. The fact that he walked out in front of them is deranged. © Mecharonin_n_please / Reddit
- Everyone mad at the husband is crazy. 4 kids is already a huge family. There’s way more to this story and I think a guy losing his mind over the fact that he has 6 children especially young twins at 45 is understandable. © LeBongJaames / Reddit
- What a shame… I am 9 years older than my wife. We didn’t have our first kid until I was 42. Then five years later, we had twins… I was in my late 40s and now, nearly 10 years later, I realize it is the best thing ever. © FantasticTempe / Reddit
- I disagree. People can have mental breakdowns. It doesn’t mean they’ve changed as a person, nor does it mean they’ve been harboring these feelings all along. I would suggest the OP take some time and get some therapy scheduled for herself and her husband before divorcing. © alphaomega06** / Reddit
