    Hi,

    Am I being selfish leaving wife and young adult children?

    Yup. For once in my life I have done something that was right for me. It matched my wants, my needs, my expectations and my desires for a happy life.

    Looking at it that way giving up the lie and everybody else's expectations is liberating.

    Yup. But I am sure your wife can do the same, leaving the children to match her wants, her needs, her expectations and her desires for a happy life.
    Right?

    Sorry, couldn't resist to give you another point of view. I usually like your posts.

    You would not be leaving your wife and children, you AND your wife would be leaving each other for your children.

    I waited for children to be adults. I put in my time.

    I did not cheat children.
