DARK - how do you do it right? I need help BADLY

[DTM]

I understand my posts are under moderation and slow to appear but I would love an answer to my inquiry about seeing other people.
My wife has clearly stated how she feels and I've read I shouldn't believe a word of it, but her actions speak much louder than words...no love, no affection, nothing.
She stated to me that she is surprised I've not gone out and dated yet..to which I told her that I put in enough effort showing her how much I love her and I'm going to do for me now, if that means going out with someone, etc.
So here is my question - am I shooting myself in the foot by going out with another woman? I am not looking to fall in love with someone else (as she has), I simply want some companionship like any man would...but I'm still officially married and feel quite guilty. Is this a WAW trap to pin me down and say "hey look what you did!" ? ?
