You guys all speak my language \:\) I've been so lonely and feeling unwanted these past few months that going out and dating sounds really good! I know I'm nowhere near ready for that, but going out and flirting and getting some attention sounds really good.

I have the same worries too, that maybe I'll meet someone and move on and blow any chance we have. But on the same token I can't really wait around forever. It's a hard call to make, especially if my wife started dating other people.

Still torn on the ring too. I've been wearing it because I still want to be married. But now I've hit the realization that my wife is never going to let her guard down and let me get any closer to her (as a friend or more) as long as she feels I haven't gotten her message that it's over, and if I do things that show I'm still interested and still want to try, she just seems to react worse. I still want to wear my ring, but I feel like I'm at a point where the best thing to do in order to have a future chance with her is to make it clear I've let her go. Not wearing my ring seems like it would do that...

Who knows...
