Is this a strange reason for a Separation?

So last night was the first night of our trial Separation. It was very hard on me. I came home from work, she said goodbye to the kids and left.

The reason we are getting separated is both her and her C agree that she needs some space to be her own person. She went from her fathers house to mine and never had an opportunity to be independent. She has been quite unhappy for sometime and thinks that she needs to fix herself before she can work on us. And with me around I cloud her judgment and try to fix her and that doesn't help. We've decided to only talk about R issues on Sunday nights, other than that no contact and no R talk.

So I've started re-reading Michele's books. I've jumped into LRT and am doing my best to stay strong. I'm just not sure if I should be so aloof. I want to help her grow, but I shouldn't right?

If I'm doing LRT should I even discuss our R on the designated day? Or let her do all of the talking? I'm so confused.
