Do you think she will change?

Thats really what I'm trying to work through right now, but everyone else seems interested in my first marriage.

Good. Then it's time to make some good choices.

For example:

1. Get custody of your son.

2. No more contact with the XW - she's obviously not relationship-material anyway.

3. Ask your GF to move out, and from that point have as minimal contact with her as possible - she obviously isn't relationship-material either.

4. Take a breather from relationships for awhile and work on YOU.

As well, my child will always be provided for, and I refuse to give up custody of him.

Of course I have the desire to be a good human being, like I said friend, I fully own what I've done, and I'm even considering calling her exhb and apologizing.

Until today, no, I didn't realize I was in an affair based relationship. So maybe in retrospect, the last four years being as miserable as they were, the result of poor choices. I understand this.

But, once again dude. Quit projecting your anger on me.

Did you use the word 'dude'?
rotflmao

I thought we were adults?

I'm not in the least bit angry. I gave you the advice you asked for. If you can't hack it that does not indicate I am angry. It's indicative of your committment.

Now, what about the others?

I think you'll be hard pressed to get someone here recommend to continue an affair. Kids or not.

Good luck with whatever you decide.

Protect your son. He should be the center of your focus. Work on you. Don't begin a new R until you have recovered from this one.
