"Switching off" is difficult. It took me a long time. I've only been in this for 7 weeks, but probaby 5-6 of them I was totally "switched on". Its only been bout the last week or two that I can actually focus on my life and other things other than my H. It takes a while. It is a CHOICE though. I believe that. When you are ready to detach and make the CHOICE to go about doing things for you, you will... and if your S wants to join you one day then its just icing on the cake. But hey, who said cake wasn't good without icing?
