Speaking as male, the real success stories on this board are not those marriages that are restored (roughly $5 million in coaching fees for every marriage saved--ha ha to the moderator); the real success stories are the Dads who have found a way bury their pride, put their kids first, and move forward in a way that does not hide the hurt, dysfunction, or substantial cost, but finds positive ways to show their kids what true love is all about in sacrifice, commitment, and caring for them. And when we're not with our kids, rather than wallow in sorrow, we learn to take care of ourselves and others in whatever form that takes.
