Quote:I think in this case its different because he says she left him for another woman, what...a week ago?

 

It's too fresh right now to be even thinking about that personally, especially while the wife is still living in the house.  There is too much going on to even think about dating sites for himself, or the kid.  100% of his free time and effort should be given to the kid right now.

 

Well that's up to him. Getting left for someone else is a pretty big knock on your confidence, maybe it would help to get out there quickly and do something to just feel wanted. I'm not going to judge a man in that situation. Having a miserable husk of a father isn't good for a kid either.

 

What about when the kid goes to bed? What about when the go and play round a friends house? Its all well and good saying spend 100% of your time with the kid (even though I'd say what he/she needs is normality and stability not to suddenly be smothered by guilty feeling adults) but that is still going to leave you sat on your own at 8.30pm while the kid is asleep. What's he supposed to do then?
