Gunny please stick to one thread, or at the very least add a link on the first post of your new one.
It's hard to give GOOD advice with an incomplete picture. You should just post this question on your old thread.
For now I'll put in a quick response. Embrace the separation, it will be hard, but take it as a chance to make yourself better, and overdrive GAL. Most folks let their spouse initiate all contact, unless mandatory. This is your chance to show her you don't need her. By staying mysterious she migh realize how much SHE misses you.
