Just because that's what you feel today, doesn't mean it will be that way in 5 yrs, 10 yrs, 15 yrs.
Don't close yourselves off from anything.
Y'all are young, there's lots of life to be lived.
I know that is good advice, but it is very difficult to follow. I don't know if there's anything worse than living under a different roof than your kids, where you don't get to raise them as a father should anymore. Taking it a step further, to have someone else step in and fill that day-to-day dad role that should be yours...
To have the person who took them away from you be your friend? That's asking a lot. Maybe when the kids are grown and gone, but not when they just need their dad to be there for them...to help them brush their teeth, or teach them long division, or snuggle with them in bed when they've had a nightmare.
But I do think you're probably right.
