I'm glad you are having no expectations from the talks you have been having. It's a good place to be in your mind to keep your sanity. But, know that you are right that it is a step in the right direction. So, if you had relationship talk with her right now, how would she react? Give me a little example so I can understand where you are at. In your example conversation ask her: WOuld you be willing to go to REtrouvaille for a weekend and see what comes of it?, With everything that has happened to you lately, are you still feeling good about your choice to separate? Why?, etc.
