Is this a mistake that will bite me in the backside, or is it OK as long as she agrees?


Bad move in my opinion. It will only get your hopes up, it won't change her mind.

Do you really want pity sex? It doesn't make you look strong.

Don't trade your goal of having a full time wife back for a few crumbs of sex. You want her to come back because she wants you, not because you cried and she felt sorry for you. That will never work long term.
