Like TC said, solid advice. One thing I will add from my experience is that once you get over the hurt and get mad, things get better. Never give up fighting for your kids and be as honest with them as you can, depending on their age. Also, find someone that you can talk to that is unbiased. Best of luck man. It's hard but it does get better.

1. If you do not attend church regularly, I would start and try to take your children every single time - this will give you good quality time with your children.
2. Don't discuss your wife in any manner other than positive with your children.
3. Make every attempt to be the primary caregiver with joint custody.
4. Stay as involved as possible with your children.
5. Avoid alcohol and/or drugs - it will not lessen the pain. Avoid the bar scene at all cost.
6. Take up a physical hobby that you can do at home i.e. woodcarving, metalwork, rebuild a car...etc. Something that you can see results at the end of the day.
7. Don't get in a hurry to start dating - since you don't want the divorce, there will be several stages with denial being the longest that you will go through prior to accepting the fact that the relationship is over.

Best wishes for all concerned.



SOLID advice right there.

Never give up something that you love for a dollar. In the end, you may be wealthy but inside, you are broke.
