New to separation. Am I doing the right things?

I wouldn't over think your next response -- keep it light. No need to validate her 9 month timeline either. If she wants to move back in before that she will.

I don't know why you're discouraged by that response -- I read nothing in that where she was pushing you away. She's saying "let's take the next several months and figure things out". That's a positive if there ever was one. Better than "I hope you can learn to accept that I'm not coming back". Many people here get that message.

I read her response as overall positive. Keep doing what you're doing and focus on GAL. No more R talk in your response, you already put it out there. For now stick to business and logistics. Make her wonder how you interpreted her response, don't tee it up
