Good post, Cyranoak - as always.
I, too, wish my Wife would just leave or drink herself stupid and do herself in like she's said many times that she wanted to do. But she probably won't, not anytime soon I would guess.
I agree with what Grizz said, and I enjoy any moment I have in the house by myself, which isn't much with a 3 year old. I have learned so much about life, love, relationships, etc., from this site over the past 8 months, that I know now that I don't 'need' anyone in my life, and I certainly am done trying to save/resecue someone.
So, part of me is where Grizz is, but part of me wants to find something new and do it right the next time. I'm better, I'm stronger - I'm Steve Austin, the $6 Million Dollar Man! But seriously, I think I would date at some future time if/when this marriage goes South. I want some semblance of normalcy again.
Oh yeah, and I'm a hopeless romantic too, but that's another thread as well.
