That is great about enrolling to finish your degree.
I agree with your C that you should continue to be patient...of course I also agree there's not much else you can do right now anyway.
In the last couple of weeks, my W told me to take care of myself, and that she was paying some attention to what I am doing...so maybe that can be some encouragement to you.
My W and I have started MC together. We agreed that it is hard, but we think the C seems pretty good so far.
One other thing that I think may be helpful for you to know is that right now my W still wants her space, even while we are C. My gut feeling is that she wants to feel comfortable that the changes she wants to see in me (and us) are real. But that's just my opinion.
