Rzr,

I guess you're a slow learner. grin

I do see a lot of positives!

-W wants to create happy memories with you (it's obvious to me that your comment about finding "happiness comes from within" has really sunk in)
-W wants to ML!! You are in a very enviable position, buddy. She's feeling emotionally open enough to try ML. I'd go for it if I were you.
-W isn't interested in going forward with separation

It has been proven by research that a strong marriage is forged by experiencing new things together as a couple. Why don't you and W sit down soon and brainstorm a list of things that you'd like to do together. Perhaps take French cooking class in your town's continuing education college.

Don't lose this opportunity when your W has those positive feelings. Strike while the iron is hot.
