I would have a hard time pulling off this sort of behavior without it coming across as petulant, bitter, and "pouty". I don't know that it would have the desired effect.
As far as making myself more scarce, with me working at home, it would be tough for me to "not come home" from work!
I have tried to be more emotionally and physically distant, but I always get drawn back in to wanting to touch her, so I give her back rubs, foot rubs, or pretty much any other excuse I can find to touch. Maybe I just haven't reached the point of there being enough pain from being rejected that this strategy is something I could use.
