Yes. 5 year rule does not require ongoing cohabitating marriage with petitioning spouse. Be ready to explain your situation and dates etc if asked. Requirements are clearly laid out on the USCIS N400 page

Many beneficiaries do not have a current passport at the time their petitioner is filing the I130. Leave it blank. Its not the same as leaving critical identity information, such as a birthdate or address area, blank. All good
Its all you can do. .. and all you must do. You must respond to the RFIE… which you are doing .. and you cant file an I130
The USCIS workers are people like us.. not perfect .. human..capsule of misreading just like i am.. or hitting the wrong key on the keyboard .. like I do!!

Send a photocopy of the first page of your I129f.. highlight 4(a).. and a simple cover letter stating

As stated.. both I 130 and130a are already on someones desk. They are a “ moment in time” form which are accurate at the time you sign them .. they are not the subject of the RFE. Send that has been requested by the RFE.. nothing more .. nothing less
If you legally entered into the US .. snd are married to a USC.. then you can apply for adjustment of status. The question will be whether your circumstances around the F1 visa and failing to attend are reasons for misrepresentation. Perhaps a wise decision would be a consultation with a lawyer .. not necessarily hiring them .. but being able to have your circumstances looked at as a whole first.
You will need to either still be married and living together or divorcing by the time you go through Removal of Conditions .. looks like your card has an expiry date in July 2023. Separated isnt a status recognised by USCIS Keep that in the back of your mind .. but in the immediate future, focus on seeing what the future of your relationship is and whether you will be able to work through this together or not. Divorce is not a roadblock to getting the permanent green card .. but not living together is
Im sorry to hear of your situation. You were wise to get some distance from the situation in order to be able to calm yourself down.
Can you add some info re your immigration status so we can respond best ? Not sure if your status is at risk because of a separation etc ..
