Did the exact same thing. Until I realized it's eventually going to hold me back living my life the way and want to and being happy. Doesn't mean I'm not willing to recommit to my marriage. But how can th fully commit to something that doesn't exist anymore?
If God decides to lead you two together at a point in your life so be it. In the meantime you have to move on and take care of your own happiness. That's all that's left.
You are like me still young tho and you have a full life ahead of you regarding family and partner. Of course this is not as easy for you bc of the children that are involved.
Which in my opinion makes me think you are doing the right thing.

What I wanted to say is: you feel that way now, which is ok. But don't be surprised if your opinion changes and your focus truly switches to yourself. In the end this will be the only way for a completely new R with your W anyway. And if it doesn't happen you didn't waste years of your life being stuck.
