After BD1 W and I did an in-house separation and "reconciled". Reconciled in quotes because I'm not sure now whether our R has really been solid since, now with BD2. W has now separated into her own place this time. I've seen sandi2 comment that she doesn't think in-house separations are good. Thoughts on in-house vs. out of the house separation? When my W wanted to get her own place my feeling was that separating from MH is a worse situation, because there is less contact with W and makes an affair with OP easier.
