IMO, if you do, you have to stop being so pessimistic. Your calling her reactions to you "fake" are shooting down your own efforts. Do you know how many spouses would kill for ANY positive reaction from there spouse? Even a 'hello'.
Have you thought that maybe her small response was a baby step and even though it seemed forced at first, that they might get better?
It was another Vet who told me when I first got here, that the pessimism you feel is because you feel that things aren't moving fast enough for you. You have to learn that it's THEIR timeline. Not yours. As hard as it is to reign in, you can't control how they feel. They are going to choose to feel negative or positive.
Let go of that control of her and having expectations. That's when you have true detachment and you won't be feeling all this resentment in you now.

Emotion, yet peace. Ignorance, yet knowledge. Passion, yet serenity. Chaos, yet harmony. Death, yet a new life.
