Holding,
I'm indifferent on this, more confused than anything, why this, why now?? I know I have my beliefs on this but that would be more mind reading and we all know to not do that!

I'm not sure what you mean by "safety net", but in general a legal separation is a means to split finances similar to a D without actually getting a D. What it sounds like to me is she's getting cold feet about the D, she's not sure she wants it anymore. My suggestion would be to ask her why she wants to pursue that instead of D, that you don't understand what she is getting at. Ask her if she would rather talk about it in person.
AS, meaning that we could split the finances and the kids and everything else but still remained married knowing full well I would accept her back when she finds out her fantasy life isn't so glamorous anymore! I don't feel that way currently. She is starting to face some money issues as I had my last check go into a different account, she needs to ask me for money to pay the bills and like I said she is having an issue securing her own mortgage for some reason. S17 doesn't want to live with her and S13 is starting to question that as well. Maybe she is getting cold feet but I don't feel the same towards her anymore. I will talk to her tonight to see what she's thinking. Thanks for the guidance.
