AIR 1970 P & H 284 (Hardeep Singh Vs Dalip Kaur)
AIR 1959 MP 349 (Leela Devi Vs Manohar Lal)
Both the above mentioned cases are very similar to the facts presented by you. In both the cases it has been held that wife living separately from husband cannot claim maintenance.
I wish you success. If you have any further querries feel free to contact me.

Dear friend,
there may be many citations if searched.
Even 125 CrPC also provides that if the applicant is residing separately from respondent without any sufficient cause. Now this term "without any sufficient cause" covers your query.
