I wouldn't say you are a DB failure. Although I think ultimately our goals are to save our marriages, sometimes there is too much water under the bridge. I think DBing is about being the best person you can be, whether the marriage works or not.
But, just be careful with the dating. Take it very slow, and remember a woman with children is a whole new ballgame. Don't be too much in a rush to meet the kids, because kids do get attached. Go very slow. I know you feel like you are done, and that is fine, sometimes there is only so much you can take. However, give yourself time too, get to know you, and enjoy your life. Don't rush into anything, because you never know what may happen next.
Im still standin better than I ever did looking like a true survivor feeling like a little kid Im still standin after all this time and Im picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind..
