It will become easier as you get more used to the idea that you aren't a host and she's not a guest -- you in fact both live here, and she's able to entertain herself. Well, usually, anyhow. And, I'm pretty sure Lorna will understand "it's time for Adders to go to work now," when it's time for you to be a-working.
On the other hand, 15 minute breaks just became vastly more pleasant. You can walk out of your study, get something to drink, and boom, there's your wife -- ready for conversation and pleasantries. Unless, of course, *she's* busy. And then comes the oddity in the other direction -- there's someone in your place, and she's not actually there to entertain *you,* either.

I'm not sure if I helped or not. Cheers!
