I'm kinda confused by it all to be honest.
There was some talk about expectations, she listed things like me quitting smoking, getting my drivers license, seeing growth.

Seriously?!

She wants the separation, there is nothing you can do about that. But you can decide what and how and when you will do things. Come to an agreement on the kids and you make suggestions and not just do what she says.

I think YOU need this separation and it’s a good time to get your balls back.

Amen.

Also, breaking up scared her. Why would you agree to be available as a backup plan for 6mo?
