If he wanted her, but not the children, maybe he shouldn't have agreed to be the father of her kids. Let's be honest, she was a package deal when they first met, and now he's in his feelings because he can't have her without the children? Be for real. This man must be high because any parent knows that parenting is a life-long job. Even though kids turn into adults, they'll always need their parents in some fashion, whether it's for advice or help with the grandkids. He signed up for this, this is the choice he made so he needs to man up. If he feels this way about the children, how was he feeling while raising them? The answer is obvious: She may have to spend her golden years alone because the husband doesn't want anything to do with the children because "he's done." No, a parent is done raising children when they go to the grave.
This man knew the deal when he met, courted, and proposed to a woman with not one, but five kids. Like the commented said, it's a package deal and being a parent doesn't stop when the child becomes 18 or 21. I understand they are all "grown" but she can't just cut them out of her life like they never existed. She also has grandchildren now so that is a new chapter she would like to experience. I believe if she can't reason, compromise or work it out with her husband, they will have to go their separate ways.
