The more my W is unresponsive, does not seek closeness or runs from me, the less I really want to put up with it. I am fantasizing about a woman who is affectionate and faithful, full of faith and willing to give herself 100 % +, like I did in this relationship.

I just can't see my W ever becoming a truly passionate person, given that I haven't seen that side of her in years now.

What should I do ?

Should I date other women ? Would making her jealous rekindle her interest in me ?

I don't want to toy around with some woman's affections to use her as a way of getting back to my w.

And, I am afraid that if I do start seeing someone else I could easily fall if there is good response.

I'm so sick of waiting, hoping, waiting........for sleeping beauty to wake up....

I guess I am willing to give her the 1 year period of seperation to come around. But I am really beginning to feel it is just a waste of time. I don't know if the woman I loved is even still in there.....
