There will be no problem for you to stay separate. However, you should continue making efforts and keep writing him about your willingness to join the matrimonial home.

There is a possibility that the law may be amended in the near future incorporating the ground of "irretrievable of marriage" as one of the grounds for divorce. If that happens, possibly, three years separation may be a ground for divorce.

Therefore, you should not delay this matter. If there is no chance for conciliation, it is better to reach an amicable out of court settlement and arrive at a compromise. If divorce is inevitable, you should prepare yourself for that eventuality instead of an endless wait.
