Since the divorce, I've learned that there were really six other guys, not just the one I knew about. The week of the divorce she tried to shame me into thinking she really wanted to work it out. It turns out she had an abortion the same week after getting pregnant by one of the guys.
I made the right decision, but that doesn't make it hurt any less. My love for her didn't fade gradually. I went to bed happily married one night and woke up the next morning in a crisis. It takes a while for that to go away.

Her loss. You sound like a compassionate father.

How can you regret it if you are happier now?
Because I would have preferred to have a marriage that worked out and for my children to have a father in their lives.
