Okay first of all, 8 years is not that big of an age difference so don’t let Reddit convince you it is
An absolute of 8 years doesn't have any impact at higher ages, but OP is 20. 8 years over what is very close to a teenager is a big age difference.
It's not a deal-breaker, but consider that even later (when it's less an issue) the age gap of (say) (31 and 23) is very high. And that's less of a deal, because it's less as time goes on.
8 years when it's over 20 is a big gap. Not a deal breaker, but not to be dismissed.
I knew I would have to be breadwinner and mostly do house chores myself. I apologize for not including that she was entirely self sufficient when I met her. But as all these people say I am not a caretaker
There’s nothing to fix- not on your part. It’s up to this jerk to do the fixing and you can already tell he won’t. No need to keep this loser around.

And you have kids too? Damn, watch her attain a male “bestie” and watch the tables turn ????????????
He's acting like that because he is heartbroken.
He needs to heal properly, not by just banging thru girls. At least not until he regulates his emotions first.
