The continuous non-cohabitation for a period more than two years can be a ground for divorce and it can also be stated as an act of cruelty as the same was without any valid reason.
The other aspects like not cooking food and other trivial issues will not constitute cruelty, you may have to look for some solid grounds to establish the same, i.e., verbal and physical abuses, arrogant behavior, in compatible or ever increasing difference of opinion aggravating the domestic relationship into strained relationship, etc.
You may look for some strong reasons other than this too.
1. What type of mental cruelty she has shown on you?
2. You shall have to submit evidence in support of your allegation of mental cruelty,
3. Any type of audio and video reording will be accepted by the court as valid evidence,
4. File divorce suit on the ground of cruelty with evidence before the local Court.
