Hey Matt.

As everyone has said... I'm really sorry to hear about this! I also have a son who is 2 (or will be shortly). Also as people have said... make sure to focus your attention on your son.  He is definately the most important thing in your life right now.  I'm glad to hear it sounds like you and your wife will stay close by and stay friends as that will be very helpful for your son.  I'm sure you both are adult enough to realize what is best for him.

How long were you married?

I'll be married 10 years this year and I can tell you, as I'm sure you know... marriage is a lot of work.  It is something that you have to work at everyday.  It is really a shame that she never clued you in to any problems before she dropped the bomb.  Things do happen for a reason, so I'm sure this is for the best in the long run.

Hang in there, and you know we're all here for you for anything you need!

Matt, I can not add anything that isn't already posted, I have a son from a broken relationship, spilt when he was about 3.  I my wife and I got custody of him when he was around 8 or 9 and all screwed up, leave with us for about six years until I had to do the hardest thing an return him to his mom (long Story)  We had a great relationship when he was younger, So I thought with my drugs and alchol, and then a really rough one in his teens, now he is 19 an we are working really hard at rebuilding our relationship.  The thing I what to say is words that were told to me in my turmoil

You always get back what you put in......

Stay strong, kids are tough and so are you....

How long were you married?

Damn dude, sorry to hear that bro. I recently brok up with my girlfriend. After 2 weeks I decided it was one or the other. I could not afford a girl, or the Vette, so like nature intended me I took the Vette

Matt,

Sorry about your problems, keep your head high and your mine clear, base your decisions on the welfare of you and your son. Married only 3 years, something is wrong, there is a underlying problem? You did not see this coming? Do you work to much? Maybe not paying enough attention to your wife? If the relationship can not be repaired then the sooner you each go your seperate ways the better. If she wants out so fast maybe she has something to hide? Consider full custody of your son..Best of luck..Terry

 Matt, you've had a lot of advice, it's up to you to make the decisions about your life and your son's as far as your life with him. I hope his mother will be a positive influence on him when he is with her, as you should influence him also. The most important thing is not to get depressed. I say this from experiance, as I'm on wife #3, and this one is goin great. My first one decided to have a relationship with a "good" friend of mine. I found out about it the hard way, and half the little town we lived in knew about it before me. It took a lot of work to hold my head up, but then I found out that my neighbors were on my side. I kept busy and the depression lifted. The second one, I should have never married. It was a rebound, and don't get caught in that trap. I divorced her due to her drinking. Stay planted and keep your head up high, stay strong for your son. I'm rootin for ya.
