GD, I've been trying the acting "As if" routine since my wife moved out, and it's working better for me than for her. I feel as though she is losing out on what could be a great relationship, and since I can't change her, only myself, that's what I'm doing. As I mentioned, I'll go on vacation without my ring on, and see what happens. Who knows, maybe I'll find someone, the same goes for you. You might try the "I hope it works out for you and OM"! "You deserve to be happy", "I think I'll take our kids out for ice cream, have a nice day", it sure can't hurt, right? You have 3 1/2 weeks until August 16th, pin the corners of your mouth to your ears for a permanant smile, your wife won't know what you are up to! You have 10 years of history, the new guy has 120 days, no comparison!
