Fogg, that's exactly what I'm doing. I am keeping myself busy until she comes around. I am the stoic hero waiting patiently for her to see how deep my love is for her. I feel if I give up my hope and do not wait for her, she will see it and quit. In other words if I quit she'll quit and if I wait for her she may change her mind.
I have things I do and I like doing them. Besides that I am home with my kids while she works. I chose them because they will not be available forever. Sooner or later they will have their own lives and move out of the nest.
I miss the emotional intimacy of another person. I get enough here to remain sane but it is not enough.
