MIL caused havoc in our marriage

My situation is that I left my wife. Her mother (my mother in law) came to stay for awhile, and refused to leave our home. Her mother is still there. This makes for a sticky wicket, in that the woman is an utter *****, and impossible to even be in close proximity to. In addition, she was using space that I needed for my business. So I had to close up shop. Her mother told me that if I didn't like her being there, then I should leave.

After giving my wife the choice (either her mom left or I would have to), I moved out and left. My wife did nothing to get me to stay, (she even began sleeping on the couch) not even asking me to stay and work things out. In fact, she helped me pack up and move out.

A few months after I left, she emailed me telling me she was sorry, and that she would make some arrangements for her mother to move, so we could fix our marriage. This however never came to pass. We have just continued to drift further apart ever since then. I am currently living in Florida, our home
is in West Texas, so we are also quite physically apart now too. I still love my wife very much, but cannot abide her mother.

She still contacts me by email on occasion, and I respond back when she does. I did send her an email Sept 4, telling her that I understand the bind she is in over her mother, and suggesting she call me if she wants to talk, but nothing yet. An odd thing, she has never called me. She just sends texts or emails since I left home. I have called her just a few times since, but it feels awkward (almost like she doesn't know what to say).

Neither one of us are spring chickens anymore (I am 62, and my wife is 59), and the sex could have been better, but that was mostly my fault over ED issues, caused by my health issues from time to time.

This is my first post. Sorry for being so long-winded.
