WW vs MLCer vs WAW

Jq25,

GAL - going out with friends, finding activities to keep myself busy.

Good.

Most of my friends are married

That can be a challenge because all of a sudden you're half-time single and others have wives and kids and full-time responsibilities, so can't always make going out like a single person a priority.

they kind of walked away from me after D came up in a picture - XW did an excellent job

Can you give a little more detail here? What do you mean "came up in a picture"? And is WX badmouthing you to your friends?

Unfortunately something you can't control and you will likely lose some friends in the process but the silver lining is you'll get clarity into who your tried and true friends really are. It's great to have friends in good times, but the friends I value the most are the ones who were there for me when I was going through my toughest times.

Also trying to do activities with my kid - hobbies we can do together.

That's great. I've never been into fishing but my now S7 really got intrigued by it so I bought him a pole for his birthday and we went out to some local ponds and lakes and he caught a few and it as just a joyous moment I'll never forget it. These times with the kids and trying new things with them can be an unexpected positive of all this. Sounds like you're doing the right thing as a dad. Keep it up and he'll never forget it.

Exploring new hobbies and activities. Any advice?

It can be tough sometimes to always find social things to do. I've leaned on my buddies a good bit as well as couple friends. Other times I've gone skiing or ice skating by myself or done projects around the house. A lot of my hobbies are more guy activities than co-ed, so I might try branching out into other areas which are more balanced.
