I think what is frustrating is that it feels like we cant understand what your goals really are. It feels like someone who read only chapter 5 (6?) of DR and is taking action without really going through the steps of identifying the whole plan. I think a lot of the things you described in your next post are really good. The key is in figuring out what you want and working consistently towards that. For example, you describe a positive of "your wife sitting next to you on a bed". To me, that is a nice step up from not being able to be in the same room together....but in my opinion, you never should have been in that situation in the first place. So it's hard to see what is really progress when the endpoint isnt very well defined.

I also REALLY want you to be careful here. You are talking about expanding your "friend circle" but from what I can tell, that so far only includes two single ladies. This is probably the opposite of the people you should be hanging out with right now. How can you put yourself in bigger groups where you dont have to worry about an affair/rebound/etc? How can you grow a community vs just finding a nice lady to talk to?
