#1 Merging is an art, but you forgot your part. Slow down or speed up to let someone in. It's a merge lane, work together with those trying to merge. There is no stop at the end of the merge lane, they have to get in and you are expected to assist them with that.
#2 You don't slow or speed up to allow people to merge with you, but then you get mad that people won't let you merge back in?
#3 It happens and is frustrating. Just use your blinker and get over when you can. It does help to speed up some. Again, work with other drivers. Technically, you are in the wrong since you are in the passing lane.
I'm with you, I love to drive, but there's no way I could do it for a living, unless it was in the middle of nowhere and no one else is on the road.

Michael brings up good points. If you choose to drive 55 and stay in the right lane you are asking for lots of grief.
If possible keep up with traffic. Set 65 as your limit if the overall traffic is moving at 65.
Hindering traffic flow at 55 is not safer driving. Allow others to merge when feasible. The idea is to share the road vs.sticking to your own driving style at all cost.
I towed a 36' TT with an Excursion once upon a time,I feel your pain.
But I think some of your suffering is self inflicted.
