RR, here are my observations:

Moving forward requires these kinds of discussions. DBing is for the period that the WAS is walkaway and potentially wayward, but at some point these kinds of discussions are mandatory. It sounds like this went well. If it hadn't I would strongly suggest that you have the next one in MC. Even though this one went well I strongly suggest MC and having the next one there.

It does sound like your W is over her walkaway thoughts and WW. But I think you know she is still cake eating. Being your W means more than just cohabiting the same household.

You typed: "We discussed how we both liked having separate bedrooms." Why is this? I do not believe a SSM can be solved with this arrangement. Kicking a cheating W out of the MBR is for a purpose. At some point that situation has to change. I've never known a married couple that sleep separately that came closer together because of it. What were your reasons for liking it? I really do not think I could stay in such a marriage. And I do not think a marriage that is already a SSM can have that problem rectified that way.

RR, I haven't been following sitches as closely recently, is your W open to MC? I assume based on this dicussion going well that the EA is over? Most of the time, Ss actively engaged in an A are defensive and do not take kindly to these kinds of discussions. That it went this well says a lot.
