Treading water - time and patience

[NYCPeter]

Well W called me as she had time to speak while MIL looked after the girls. It was a brief conversation -

M - So how are the girls.
W - Good, we went to a local street fair with friend (her friend who is a divorcee and hangs out with my W late at night).
M - Can I speak to the girls
W - They are out at the playground with my M
M - So I'm going to come around on Tuesday afternoon to see the girls and pick up some stuff
W - That's fine
M - I am coming home on Friday
W - I'm not sure that's a good idea, we should see what it's like to spend time apart.
M - I want to return home on Friday - where I am staying is only viable short-term.
W - Well lets talk about it on Tuesday
M - See you then
W - Bye

Seems like she wants to stick to a period of seperation, I will not bend on this one. I made a rash move leaving yesterday and regret it now, I won't move out permenantly.
