"what makes you think that you can't have another family, a better family, one where your future wife cares about you and your son?"
To me this sounds like the thinking of many WAS's - I need to drop what I have now in order to get a better thing. Occasionally I agree, but only if a M was truly dysfunctional or abusive. Mostly, I think that M's can be restored, even if the couple has got to a pretty bad place.
That's JMHO of course, but the philosophy of this site is all about saving your marriage if that is at all possible - not moving on to greener grass...
