be adult, and always see thing from both sides, she can only fight if you let her, and believe me, your son will no matter what happens always see you as a father, over time things will settle and he will drift towards comfort and caring. I was divorced 7 years ago, and over time my kids has, as they grow older and need a friend and advice more than a too uptight and worried mother, come to live with me. Keep things flexible and never step down hard, just because you can.
After time I found the divorce to be a tremendous opportunity to sort of restart my life being able to fill it with the people and tasks of my choice and om my therms. All in All it has been a great experience even if it started in agorny

. . .
So any good advice?
I'm in no position to offer advice. Been in my (first) marriage for over 40 years, so I can't comprehend the experience, nor the process, of divorce - though I have friends and siblings who went through it.

Learn from it, so you don't repeat your mistakes, nor fall into another marriage with the wrong kind of person (if it was the wrong match).

Truthfully... No marriage ever works without God in the middle of it. He can teach us so much. Without the Maker of marriage, we always fail. Just like all of life.
I was recently encouraged by attending a wedding of a middle-aged couple. Both had been divorced, and have High School-aged kids. I've been to similar weddings where it seemed obvious the couple was trying to "pick up the pieces", or salvage what they could from previous lives. Somehow, the tone and atmosphere of THIS whole ceremony and reception was a statement of faith, and a declaration that "We're going to show how marriage SHOULD be done!".

At this holiday time, let me wish a future like that for you.

If she's out having fun now, you should be too. Don't let preconceived ideas and emotions wreck you. In the simplest of terms be healthy and go find someone else to bang. Everything else is a waste of time and effort so deal with it to get it over with.

Seriously, don't let yourself be depressed, you aren't supposed to be or anything. Every minute you spend on it is a minute that could have been something else. You don't want your kid to think you're the give up type. It sucks for the kid, I don't know his age but if they're mostly grown I think parents should stick it out a bit; or at least be educated on stats and consequences of child perception of parental dependency that has differences between the gender of parent.
 
Jumping in bed with the first girl he sees, will only lead to more heartache, Nigel.

It doesn't matter if he jumps in bed with the first or hundredth girl there will always be heartache.
I go in with the idea that I don't expect anything so when it does work out I am pleasantly surprised. If it doesn't I simply move on.

I have had about 10 women in the last 15 years. They either get bored with me, or me with them and move on. I never have any tears because I get along fine on my own. I have audio as a hobby so I can keep occupied.


As the REM song goes "A simple prop to occupy my mind"
 
Get a dog.

I drove over 650 miles (1000KM) on New Years Day to get a rescue Yorkshire Terrier. He is such a sweet dog who only wants to love me and give me in return for my care of him. He sat on my lap during the 325 mi (500KM) drive home with his head resting on my arm.

There are too many dog without companions, to be paying someone to breed a dog just for me.

This is my new little buddy (Neo).

A dog is great company if you can find the time to be with them.
My sons left home then wife left and I only had the dog.
I guess he was the only thing that didn't abandon me.
Sadly he didn't live for much longer as he had serious health problems and I had to get him put to sleep. Oddly I cried when I got the dog put to sleep but didn't shed a tear when the wife left.

I would like another dog but I am out at work for 10 hours a dya and it wouldn't be fair to leave one at home alone all day.

A lucky little guy, I have my little Otis.
 
Actually rescue dogs from a distance are a bad idea! Every so often you end up helping spread the territory of a disease! If possible find one closer to you.

Won't go into the tale of the small town around here where one new dog caused virtually all the rest to die. Oh well I guess I did. 🙁
 
I am lucky. My little buddy Bingo comes with me to work and then again when I head out into the field. We've become rather attached. He's 8 and I have known him all his life but the owner is no longer able to care for him so I am fast becoming his Daddy. Believe it or not, he's actually a very young 8 year old and sure keeps me hopping.
