Disappeared? Like "adios amigo"?

I don't know what else it could be but a cowards way out.

Sorry this happened to you. You were kind enough to put yourself out there and he could have been kinder about it.

I know it seems harsh to say as it is still fresh...but you should be glad he just disappeared.
Seems like the kids will not allow him to have a life and it seems he isn't ready to have one either.
That is an uphill battle you just avoided. I always said "thank goodness for unanswered prayers"!
Be glad he is gone. Find someone who values your opinion and who knows what boundaries are.
You will be much better off in the long run

You dodged a bullet. Trust me. He's probably a disney dad who isn't ready for a serious relationship yet. His kids will come first, then his ex-wife and you will be third - always. Try to put him out of your mind. Focus on yourself and live your life well.

Walk away and count your blessings. He's clearly shown you where his priorities are.

Trust me, you are better off without him. You won't be this man's priority - ever. Good luck to you

I seems pretty obvious that that dad has some boundary issues with his kids and has failed to establish that he is both a man and a father. Unfortunately, there is little that you can do until he makes a decision to put the appropriate time and effort into his personal life and requires his children to respect that.

Good riddance. If he cannot be an adult and the partner you should have then his disappearance is a good thing.

Don't sweat it. Move on. Value yourself and do not settle for anyone who does not value and treat you as you know you should be treated.

Congratulations that that Disney dad and his spawn are gone.

Take care of yourself and celebrate your easily gained freedom from that shallow and polluted gene pool.

You asked for a man's opinion. I am a man and gave you my opinion.

Good luck.
