At 46 years old, I'm not sure I can say what I'd do at Reiii's age, but I can say what I'd do now:

Nothing.

You shouldn't say "Stay with me" and look needy.
You shouldn't say "I don't care" because you do.
You shouldn't start dating others just to be doing it, or to get revenge. It's not fair to those that are going out with you.
As hard as it is to accept, whether you're just dating or married, the other person has to want to be in the relationship. You don't WANT to agree to a "break"--then don't agree to it; a coerced agreement is not an agreement at all. But what else CAN you do?

Nothing.
