First of all, welcome here! This is a great place to come to for advice, venting, or hugs.
Now, your wife seems so much happier now. And, she may be. She's still in the "honeymoon" stage of living the single life. It doesn't last long though. She also may be writing about how happy she is knowing that you or even OM read her blog. It takes a lot of guts to move out, and often pride will get in the way of admitting that you made a mistake, tucking in your tail, and coming home.

Now, on your end. Your wife made in clear what was making her unhappy. What can you do differently?

It's NOT OK to have your son 6hrs away. Not OK at all, And, an occasional email exchange regarding your son is not enough. At this rate, you'll be completely out of his life in no time at all. Why don't you call him every night to say good-night? We do that in my house with d5 and s2. Tell him, every night that you love him and miss him, and set up a time, NOW that you will see him again. You need to take him for a week or a weekend, or whatever. He's your son as much as he's hers. If divorce is down the road, the courts will look at how much time you spent with your son now to determine how much time you'll see him later. Your are setting a precendent NOW. Don't blow it.

Hopefull others will chime in here. Meanwhile continue with your GAL. That's the best you can do now.
