I just read through some of your posts. You sound a little bit like my husband...except that you were at one point willing to work it out with your W. I am curious to know how the gambling started and why u did it. Did u get help to stop? I am just looking for some perspective on this. My H has also been having thoughts of suicide and I have been very worried.
It sounds like you are in a better place now...even though u may not be able to totally see it. A decision has been made and ur life is no longer in limbo. U are GAL and going out with friends etc. She is moving on with hers. As much as this stings now it will get better with time and u may be able to finally find happiness. U may even be able to forgive ur EX and never say never about getting back together. U don't know what the future holds. I think that is part of the DBing and the divorce remedy book. UR change can induce change in ur partner and it could be for the better.
