I don't know how I should feel about this (family, mom, problem)

I'll be completely honest and I know this will get a lot of backlash but, I could never do it. I'm the quiet reserved type so voicing my opinion is hard. I've gotten better but I'm still quiet. The other reason is her sad eyes and pouty lip. Ever since we met, she has a routine. She'll hug me and rest her head under my neck and give me big puppy dog eyes. That's what she used to do. She doesn't do that any more but from about 14-21 or 22 she loved to do that
You are the male role model in your home for your son.
I assume you would not want him to be manipulated in this way by a woman in his future.
All I said was was that I wish we were still in love at the same intensity that were when we were 14
Everyone who is going through relationship difficulties wishes they could feel the way it was during the happiest times in their relationship. Nothing wrong with that....it's normal. In my experience, though, that thrill and intensity at the beginning of a relationship never returns...it either morphs into something deeper or dissipates over time.

Believe it or not, I am not trying to be mean. You are not 14. She is not 14. Hell, your KID is not even 14. Get yourself into a counselor and learn how to be a MAN not wistfully yearning for your childhood.
I feel like it's not good that he knows the situation and I hope he knows that we're both working to improve
You guys already have lived your situation out in front of him his whole life. And what does it matter that he "knows" the situation? You have a strange view on relationships, like it's supposed to be static or something.
Is your wife going counseling with you? Because if she's not, despite what you want to think: she's not really working to improve anything.
I wouldn't believe it until I see it/hear it from you.
If I were her, I might say, "OK, sure" just to not hear you all weekend and then Tuesday night say "hey, guess what, I'm not going!"
