Was I quick enough? Assuming you haven't changed your mind yet...

Yes, your ego could certainly use the boost. And it might be fun.

Um, awkward? scary? like you're cheating? Let me know when you find out. I still can't even imagine it.

From here, it doesn't look like you're detached at all. Of course this is all relative, but you are a man who's professed his ongoing love for his W.

Everyone is different, I'm sure, but my guess is until you're ready to fall in love with someone else and kiss the W goodbye. And if anyone's not there, it's you.
I don't think you need to put your life on hold at all. To me, life is about many things, only one of which is an R. There's so much out there to do, so many things I want to learn and experience, and I can do all of those things by myself.
On the other hand, if someone appears and I'm ready to be totally done with the M, AND I'm content with where I am on my own, I wouldn't necessarily close the door "just in case."
