Everything in this world, for better or worse, unfortunately comes to an end sooner or later. Work, relationships, friendships, feuds, and life itself. And how it ends will largely determine what exactly other people will say about us later on. No matter how convincing you are, this is still important.
So, for example, when you break up with someone you care about, it is very important that you do not hold a grudge against each other and at least try to maintain the relationship, if not good friends. Especially if you have children.
This story first popped up a few days ago The AITA Reddit community has received over 10.5K upvotes and about 1.9K different comments as of today. Despite the rather sad occasion, the discussion turned out to be so intense that netizens basically came to the conclusion that the author of the original post had no responsibility whatsoever. let’s do it…

So the author of the original post says he and his wife separated when their two children were still young. However, over the years, the original poster has become, as he puts it, to remain a good father to his children. I did everything to

But the man tried his best to be a good father to his two children.
The man never paid alimony and child support, was always involved in his children’s creative and sports performances, and was as open to communication as possible. When OP’s ex-wife remarried, his alimony ended, but the man continued to pay child support on a regular basis. I started a new relationship.

Most recently, that all changed when the mother of the OP’s children was diagnosed with cancer and was very aggressive. It required expensive treatment and this apparently destroyed their marriage. He left her when he couldn’t pay all the bills and the debts piled up.

A few months ago, the author’s ex-wife was diagnosed with cancer.her husband left her and she died recently
As a result, OP’s ex-wife died a few months ago, and it was a huge shock to his children, who are now 17 and 18 years old. Of course, the man attended the funeral, and at Thanksgiving they got together and talked at length as they mourned the deceased. It is said that there was no day without it.

Let’s go back four months, when OP’s ex-wife was still alive and not yet in hospice care. Instead of a big wedding, they had planned a small ceremony in the backyard. I was able to come.

Months before the funeral, the author and his girlfriend decided to tie the knot, but both the male children asked to be present.
The original poster had sent the invitation long ago, but both of his children objected. Literally days before his mother died. In any case, the men did not postpone the ceremony. After all, he had nothing to do with the woman he divorced over ten years ago. We had a room for us.

The ceremony was held without the groom’s children – but they told the father that he was “heartless” for not re-inviting them.
However, the children never arrived.When they found out that the wedding had taken place, they told their father, firstly, that he had canceled the invitation, and secondly, that he had disrespected the memory of his deceased mother. There was some discussion, but I’m sure the original poster didn’t actually do anything wrong.

But people in the comments mostly sided with the man and said he did nothing wrong.
I have to say that the opinions of people in the comments were divided, but the majority still stand by the original poster. I’m still noticing teens acting as if their parents were very recently married. . The situation is indeed very sad, but life goes on. This was one of those moments where people in the comments showed they were convinced.

Some commenters specifically point out that the invitation was sent long before the mother died and that she had formally declined. In any case, according to some commenters, we regret missing our father’s wedding, and we regretted missing our mother’s wedding. “So the only logical thing they can think of is to blame you,” a commenter opined.
