Welcome to our Board. You really haven't told us much of your journey as yet, although it seems to have been going on for some time. Is there OM? You kind of glossed over the whole "I'm gonna make it on my own" scenario. I understand the bald truth sometimes seems more painful than we can bear, but get it out there and let it go. As for dating other women, that's your call, but it depends on where your stand is on continuing your marriage.
Cadet or someone will be along shortly and give you the suggested reading. It is very helpful stuff. There will be some wise words here to guide you along. Again, welcome.
