No dude you are not unique. When they are done they are done and by the time 97% of the people make it here it is way too late. I also think I am being generous with the 97%.
Truthfully it is more to do about them than anything to do with you. We all could have been better spouses including them and you also could have been the perfect spouse and to some it wouldn't matter.
As soon as my children got to the point to where they were more self sufficient and she felt like she got through the hard years of when they were toddlers it was time for her to live the free life.
Getting child support from me and only having the kids 50% of time is like a vacation for her.
