I think there are some differences of opinion here. I believe Serenity thinks I should stay put and keep waiting for my wife to make up her mind. Robx, along with everyone else says I should move on with my life without thinking she is coming back.

It's not about one-uping my wife, it's about getting on with my life and not waiting around forever and like someone mentioned earlier and Michelle Weiner-Davis, what I'm doing is not working, so I should do something else. What I'm doing is waiting around, being nice and upbeat, positive, but it's not changing anything. She has not left her "loser" boyfriend for me. So obviously I must do something else.
