Marriage for men has almost become the Kobiashi Marru, (No win scenario: see: tarTrek) Good luck.

If its any consolation, many millions of men have been or still are where you're at. Marriage to a woman who does not love him, except for the money he can earn, the father figure, security and protection he provides is a bad situation for any man. When they get bored with him, and want some excitement in their lives, its time to get rid of him and find a new lover. He's left with nothing but alimony and child support. Face it, its not a coincidence that 70% of all divorces are filed by the wife, and its not because men are evil.
OMG I couldn't have said it better myself!

To the OP, DO NOT blame yourself! You sound like an awesome person. Just know that it sucks when you can't get the years back that you invested in the "waste of time" marriage.

Why would it be necessarily a waste of time for the OP?
I'm sure it wasn't all bad ... he's learned about who he is, what he wants, what he doesn't want, what he has to improve on, and a healthy son to boot. I wouldn't call that life experience wasted time.
