Man, those dam* cookie crumbs. Your W. is as about as confusing as I can imagine. She's reading the Chapman book, but won't seem to acknowledge that she's reading it to apply it to your M. She accepts the separation agreement, with concerns, of course, and then says to D: "so M and D. can maybe get back together". WTF?

I do love the question from her: "What's the matter?" It should be painfully obvious to her. Has she come out recently and told you what her intentions might be? Probably not. The agreement must have been so painful for you. You and I seem to be a lot alike, so I can only imagine. Hang in there, bro.
