I don't think the statement is ironic at all, maybe he is just happy that you might be able to find someone that can fulfill whatever it is YOU are looking for.
No. He was quite upset when he said it. He doesn't want me to have sex with anyone else. The thing is everytime I've been on the verge of leaving him he has suddenly found renewed sex drive or commitment to work on it but then we're back to the same old /same old in short order. I'm not even blaming him. It takes two to tango or not tango. He just sexually propositioned me again yesterday so clearly any angry/bitter/sardonic/dismissive comments on my part do nothing to diminish his renewed desire in the face of my lack of it and willingness/desire to move on. Do you know how much I would like to believe that some positive thing I could have done or some loving gesture I could have made would have been the thing that made the difference in our relationship? I tried everything I could think of. He only wants me when I don't want him and at this point I really, really don't want him. I've been burned a few too many times to go back.
