Now that we are not together, I wander will I ever have a child of my own. This is such a depressing thought to me and breaks my heart.
Tim, having my son was the most wonderful things that happened to me. We literally spent all of our energy on him and gave him everything we have. We got to travel the world with him, I put him in sports that I wasn't able to do myself during my childhood, and I believe he had a very happy childhood until now. It makes me so sad that WW is turning our world upside down, and there is nothing I can do to stop it.
I don't mean to be sexist but, as a man, you do have the opportunity to have children even if your current marriage ends in D. Your biological clock ticks at a much slower pace than a woman's. You may yet meet someone that will carry your future child, and bring you the happiness you deserve. I would just caution that you make sure you don't make any of the mistakes you have with your current W, because it is irreversible once you have a child. You will be in each others' lives forever. This is something I think about every day, as without my son it would be very easy to walk away from this marriage.
