Dear Bride,
I am truly sorry for the pain that you are feeling. I too, have been there before and experienced a cold love from my EH. But I know now that it was all apart of His plan for me to experience His Love and the same can be said for you. He is calling you back to Him so that He can shower you with all the Love you will ever need. I encourage you to begin reading the RYM book first and begin journaling the first lesson. https://hopeatlast.com/c1/ The journaling will help heal your broken heart and gain intimacy with Him. He loves you and longs to be close to you.
”Jesus looked at them intently and said, “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But not with God. Everything is possible with God.”“
Mark 10:27 NLT

”And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.“
Romans 8:28 NLT

I was once in a similar situation. My husband and I grew bitter with each other, slept in separate beds etc. We have been restored 2x. The first time He said he loved me but wasn’t “in love” with me anymore and left, the second time I told him to leave. There was another woman both times. I was full of pain, sadness & bitterness. It’s hard but know that the Lord hates divorce but has all the control and with Him ALL things are possible.
Only He knows what is best for you.
I know that you are praying for your husband to come home, but most of the time God takes our loved ones away for a while to bring us closer to Him. He wants to be first in your life. https://hopeatlast.com/c3/day-2-chapter-2-first-love/ God is a God of restoration, and I know that He can heal your marriage.
As Elda mentioned above, start with that first course and start seeing Him transform you.
“Do not be shaped by this world. Instead be changed within by a new way of thinking. Then you will be able to decide what God wants for you. And you will be able to know what is good and pleasing to God and what is perfect.” R12:2

Dear Bride
I also understand so much your situation, I lived and still living in I cold separation type relationship even though we are still legally married. But take this time to really focus in your Beloved Him. If you look to long to your circumstances you will begin to sink into despair. Be mindful of Him and give you heart entirely to your Bridegroom and pray for the Spirit is ready but our flesh is weak.
I would recommend you journal a wise woman book, it’s a precious book
