I think it DOES get easier. You have to figure out, as someone else said, all the mistakes SHE made in the M too. And then maybe you can pretend she's lost in the Australian bush and cannot be reached....but while she is away, you will enjoy the advantages of her being gone...No more chick flicks. Go ahead and leave the toilet lid up. Have meat only for dinner and drink milk from the carton. Watch football ALL day if you want...yes, these are small things to be sure. But they add up. And, they lead you to doing 180s and to see the bigger things too. Like maybe now you can live where you want to without thinking of her preferences, or you can take that class you always wanted to take, or sport you were thinking of....or buy a motorcycle, or Date and meet someone who "gets" you....I know it's a LONG way off and you still want the M to work. It can. It is not hopeless. But the thing is, you have to GAL for YOU in case she does not come back and even if she did come back, you need to GAL and guess what else? She is more likely to come back if you GAL anyhow. But it is about YOU living YOUR life. Pretend your life is a book with several chapters. Who is writing the book of your life? I hope it's you and God. How is the chapter going? How do you want this chapter to end and the next one to go?
Be the author of your own life. And be patient. I have 2 relatives who actually divorced and then remarried their spouses, btw. So it happens. But it took years. So, you just gotta GAL and keep on keeping on. j-
