I love your analogy about the tooth ache. I laughed a little only because that is exactly how I feel about my situation. Single or a step parent. Neither of which I want. But I have grown to realize that sadly I do not want my H in my life at the moment. He is too disrespectful and ignorant to be welcomed back into my life. So I have let go. I am neither working on things or not working on things with him. I am just living my life. Having fun with my kids and my friends and developing myself. I hope that you eventually you can find the same for yourself.
