You can file for restitution of conjugal rights u/s 9 of Hindu Marriage Act, for reconciliation with your wife. Thereafter, your wife will have to come to the court, in order to state if she wants to reconcile or not. If she does not, then divorce can be sought. However, you cannot live with your friend until you get a proper divorce as the same might become a ground for your wife to file for a divorce, wherein you will have to pay a lot of money in the form o alimony and maintenance.
