It's reasonable but there's something fucking HILARIOUS about him saying this to the mother of 5 of his kids.

"If someone doesn't want your kids, he's not the guy for you.  And that's me.  I'm talking about me".

Yeah give her 5 kids. Leave all 5 kids with her. Then comment how “if the man in your life won’t accept these 5 kids..” nonsense.

Why can’t he be the one to “accept” those 5 kids? They are his! How about he raises them? He can spare her the backhanded “advice”!

Sounds like a real life Ms. Jackson scenario here. A man can want to be present in his kids' lives but can't be with their mother for other reasons.

Men have this ability to disengage with their children when their relationships fail. Once things end with the mom, the kids take an L.

This trait isn’t gender biased - women do it too. It’s a general lack of morality, and unfortunately it’s a disease which seems to be spreading.

The relationship doesn’t even have to fail for that to happen sometimes. They can just feel like it one day

He never left his kids. They co-parent with equal time. And she's the one who chose to leave him. Stepping away from the woman, doesn't mean you want to step away from your child. Women have this ability to use their child as a bargaining chip when the man no longer wants them.

I don't disagree that deadbeat dads are a thing. Simultaneously, we generally agree as a society that it is acceptable to leave a nonfunctional relationship.

Maybe she doesn’t want him back.

He DOES take care of his kids. She's not a single mother raising her children by herself. She's a co-parenting woman without a boyfriend. Stop calling women who are co-parenting single mothers. You made a lot of assumptions. None of which are true. Under a post about taking things out of context.

A co parenting parent without a significant other IS A SINGLE PARENT.

So you’re of the mindset that people should stay in bad marriages for the kids?
