Her bringing up MC is great. A very positive sign. She is showing a willingness to at least try. Reading your post I got a little confused. You agree you can't work it out on your own? I wouldn't make the MC something 'at some point'. I would start actively looking for one and strike while the iron is hot. I'd first ask my IC to see if they have any recommendations. Tell them you want an MC who is forward looking..not too focused on past stuff except the issues you guys need to get past in order to heal your R. (see below)
I have only one piece of advice if you go into MC.
Get a counselor who will focus on moving forward and not spending time focusing on the past. I've seen it happen too many times - too much focusing on the past just rehashes the disappointment and anger the WAS has. Make sure it's forward looking - What can we do to move forward and heal our R. What exercises, recommendations, etc... Date nights, time together, time apart, etc...
I can't stress this enough.
Remember, don't get high on the MC suggestion. Take it as matter of fact. Stay grounded. Don't get cocky. Don't push. Keep the focus on you. Own your issues and work on them.
Period.
