Cschalla, the first thing you should do is to move back into the MB. She can stay too, but if she wants to do the separation thing she can moved into another room. Do not dismiss this, this is important. WAWs do not respect their LBHs. Women are not attracted to men that they do not respect. Start commanding her respect. It is difficult for most LBHs because the intuitive thing to do is to nice her back to the marriage.
Learn this truth: You cannot nice her back to the marriage. So do that which commands respect. Sleeping in your mancave is not commanding respect. She's the one that wants out of the marriage, she's the one that should sleep elsewhere.
So tonight you get ready for bed and get into the MBR. When she asks you say, "I like sleeping here." When she gets upset you listen and validate (see the validation thread). I'm ok with you explaining to her that she's the one that wants a divorce, she should be the one to sleep elsewhere. Be polite, but be firm. She will get angry. She won't like you very much. But she WILL respect you.
I'd do this tonight. Every day that goes by makes it more difficult.
