I'm so sorry. My youngest son is now going through a similar situation. He's only 26 and is just short of his 2nd anniversary. He, too, blames himself for the situation, and he, too, has turned to God for guidance. He has read several Christian books on marriage since this happened and sees how he is responsible for pushing her away towards her single female friends who have been much too available to help her through this.

I will get the names of books that have helped him. He hoped that if she saw a change in him (which has happened), she would not go through with the divorce, but it's not working out that way so far. Even so, he now knows how his actions and words caused this (blames himself entirely), and how to keep it from happening in the future. I will pray for you and will be in touch through our freeper email system. Seek help through a divorce ministry in your area--one that is especially for men, but a co-ed would help, too. You need a support group. God be with you--even if it is only by way of your Golden which has unconditional love for you, just as God does.

Your son will be fine and if I were you, I wouldn't blame him for making mistakes. Sure he made some mistakes but he's not the one who left his wife, right? Make sure your son has pride in himself and that he's aware of his good attributes.

Just before my 25th birthday, my ex-fiance dumped me suddenly. Didn't see that coming. But now I realized that I'm much better off without her. And yes, I'm only 26 as well. :-)
