LITB, I hear you loud and clear. It's a tough balance between letting your W miss you and showing your positive changes. I think the best thing you can do is to continue to work toward being your best possible self. When you have contact with your W, keep being positive and upbeat.
I don't think it's your job to teach your W consequences. That being said, you can allow your W to feel the consequences by not buffering her from them. After all, you have your own life to live.
I agree with everything you said JB. KD is right about you having the market cornered on GAL.

Here is some irony for you speaking of dating.
There is a beautiful woman that I am very attracted to who works at the bank that I use. She helped me the first couple of times I went in there, however it was early in my sitch.
On Friday I walked in and she offered to help me. So we started with some small talk and then I went for it, because this was my opportunity:
M: I've seen you in here a few times and I think you are very attractive. I'm wondering if you have a boyfriend.
(Bank Teller): Well thank you. I do have a boyfriend.
M: He is a lucky guy.
More small talk about the 9ers game and football. That's the first time I've done that. I've been out of the game for awhile.
Thought I would share, since the following day OM was confirmed.
I really have no business getting involved with anyone with where I am at. Just saw an opportunity and went for it.
