Here's another idea. Join a men's group or some other non-threatening activity that helps you to grow and evolve and keep your mind off your sitch. The more of that you do, the more attractive you will be to your W and the world at large. Schedule it around times when you are least likely going to be meeting your W.
I would suspect that if the opportunity were present for you to share with your W some of the things you are doing, that it would be viewed as positive. As long as it was presented in the right setting under the right conditions, (i.e. maybe in counseling where you share that part of your coping and self reflection and improvement have involved you taking up.... name your activity....
Does that make sense?
