While I can't tell you everything you should do, one thing you shouldn't do is put your life "on hold".
Being open to getting together again and continuing with your life are not mutually exclusive actions. In fact, leading your life and become a more fulfilled and happy person may actually help you reconstitute your marriage at some time in the future.
Just make sure your husband knows you are open to working things out, and then live your life.
