I enjoy, need, crave solitude as welll & I dont get it nearly enough. I can’t imagine ending my marriage to be alone. But that’s me, not you! Sooooooo-
Does she know how much you crave being alone? Have you always felt this way? Can you manage with scheduled get aways, by yourself.
Ultimately, you have one life to live. If you prefer to be alone, let her go. She deserves someone who wants her there with him.

@Winenot We dance around it, but her insecurities make it challenging. But ultimately, yes. She is supportive of my having "me time" - but I am not sure she would support me taking, say, a month to head out west and live simply, quietly. I don't know of many relationships where the spouse would say, "Sure! Take as much time as you like - month, 6 weeks, whatever!" So i count myself lucky I could probably get a week or two away guilt free now and then.

You have to ask yourself if your need for solitude, not just the occasional afternoon to yourself but 24/7 solitude, is something you crave more than having her or anyone by your side.
We all need time away. That’s just a given. But is the time away needed to just clear your head and breathe in fresh, untainted air, or is that detached freedom something needed to survive in your eyes? That’s a discussion you need to have with yourself.
