Would your wife be willing to give you full custody? If you do want a divorce be sure to dicuss that with her. Most women won't do that.

If you are a full-time dad, not dating and devoting all your time to your son he will have your time. Honestly, I've only seen a few people do that. Most seem to spend more time with boyfriends and girlfriends than their kids. But I have seen a few devote their time to the kids and hold off on dating until they are grown. But that's very rare. Most of the kids seem to get very little attention. I imagine people go into this with good intentions, but eventually things change and it's not the result.

But I do understand where your coming from and I realize for some people it seems like the only road they can take. Good luck with whatever you decide.


There is no arriving, ever. It is all a continual becoming.
