Betsey,
Pen makes a good point here (as usual).

One thing I had to do was step back and be "friends" with my H. I was really resistant to this, as how do you step back from confidante, lover, etc., and work on being just "friends?"
Anyway, presented in the form of:
Mr. W, no matter what happens with us, I would like to have a good relationship for the sake of the kids. We've really lost touch lately, and I miss having you as my friend. How about a night on the town (substitute night of bowling, dinner and drink, movie, etc.) to make that friendship a priority?

It really makes sense.
...and, it won't hurt to bend over slowly every chance you get to show off that hot new bod of yours!

Betsey, besides the obvious, times like this will give you more of an indication as to whether or not this is really the man for the new you.

Pen...uh oh! A new humorous side? What else are ya hidin' over there?
