Ox, you live in the same home but not in the same bedroom and I assume that it's a pretty big house, no. You don't need to be a jerk to her, but just go about your own business. That's it. It's really that simple. Why are you making this so hard? Ask yourself that.
I do this at home. I do not pursue her at all. I give her all the space she needs.
She still shares the master bathroom with me, so when she uses it I stay far away. There is a dressing room between the Master Bed-room and the Bathroom. she will usually slide that closed if I need to get into the bedroom (to get to sleep or if I already am sleeping).
Last night she did this for example. When I walked in the bedroom she was complaining out loud about something. I made the mistake of asking if shes alright and I got one of those snotty "I am fiiiinnneeee Ox'. I know shes exhausted etc..This is something I need to 180 big time. Our entire marriage that question would set her off when something was bothering her.
