Strange... you and MO2C talk and she wants to separate. My W and I don't and she is not going anywhere...
Damned if ya do and damned if ya don't These things are tough to figure out, aren't they?
So we talked some more last night.
Yes, Mo2C is really serious about the moving out and is planning on doing just that. Not sure when, but I'm guessing soon.
Yes, she does want to continue to work on us during this separation. She wants some time apart for both of us to think about ourselves, each other, the relationship and spend some good individual time with the kids.
We will date each other, yet she gives me permission (even wants) me to see other women. She tells me that for her, dating is the last thing on her mind.
One more thing...

How much talking is too much and when does too little look like I'm trying to avoid her. I know the answer is going to be just ask. Neither of you are a mind reader.
One more thing. Before going to bed last night, I kissed Mo2C on the lips and told her that I missed those kisses. She told me that just for the record, it was me that stopped the kissing.
I guess I did, but didn't see it that way or realize that it was me that stopped it. I felt as though she had been slowly pulling back from the affectionate gestures and when she said she wanted to separate, I made some assumptions.
