I'm not really looking for any advice I just want to tell someone, even if it is strangers. I'm not really close with my parents and pretty much all of my friends are 'our friends'. Since moving here when I was 18 I wouldn't say I have any really good friends except for her. I work out of town in O&G so I haven't really been close with too many people except for her and her family. It's been devastating.
I will say though this is the first time I've spent a week alone with my son and it has been amazing! Since I work out of town she usually had everything planned and yada yada, me and my son had never spent more than a day or two alone together.
Through all the turmoil and heartbreak I've had an absolute blast with my son this week and thought I had it to share it with someone. We've been doing stuff we would never do as a family, just driving around looking for new playgrounds to play on, grabbing slurpees, watching movies and letting him drive with me while the dog runs beside us (we're rural it's cool).
The thing that breaks me up is that I want her to come back so bad. Anyways I digress, thanks for reading! Writing it out and sharing helps.

I have been there man, it does get easier over time. Just look after yourself and your son and find things you enjoy in life to distract you. One of two things will happen, either she will see how well you are doing without her and come crawling back or you will meet someone else who will make you thankful it didn't work out with your ex.
