Oh yes, absolutely! I've had a lot of joy and fulfillment outside of M, I don't need a W to have that. I was 31 when I got married, so I spent a lot of adult time as a single guy before I "settled down". Those were some great years. I had some great married years too, but my happiness doesn't require a W.
I was also a little older when I married as well, so I spent a lot of time on my own. I enjoyed it very much and was great on my own. I will be there again. I realize that we do not need anyone to have a fulfilling life. Personally I think that I want to open myself up again, let myself be completely vulnerable, and see what a real two way loving, trusting R feels like.
Not sure if this is related but over the last week or two since the whole dropping the rope thing has been on my mind, I have noticed a attitude shift towards me from my w. Could it be my perception, certainly, could she be noticing that my actions are becoming more genuine and less fake, maybe. Who really knows? What I am sure of is that I am on a good role of PMA.
