This Apple Id is my wife's. I want to create a new Apple Id with its own iCloud account, but when I try to it fails because my email account is already in use as her rescue email address. How can I create a new Apple Id and iCloud account using my email address? Do I need to have her change her rescue email address? We have tried to do that but don't know how to edit the account information.

A new angle on this issue arose when my wife suggested that I might already have an Apple id using my gmail account. So I tried logging in using that id, indicating that I had forgotten my password. When I clicked ok, the login screen indicated that an email was sent which would enable me to reset my password and recover my account. However, no email has been received after three hours. If the Apple id is not a valid one, wouldn't the login process indicate such?
What email address was used for the password recovery, and do you have access to it now.
My gmail address was used and yes I do have access to it.
I can't create new iCloud acct bcs my email is attached to wife's acct
