Oz, you keep saying you may not have many years left. Is that what would truly make you happy if these are your final years--being married, but living separately? If so, yes, live your dream! I worry a bit when I hear this, that it's more like, "Hmm.. if I do this.. and I wait long enough.. will she do that?"
