It's definitely a bad thing. It is her way to escalate separation/ divorce using a 3rd party "professional" as a shield. Here is how it will play out:
C- so can anything be done to save this? You- YES I am willing to do anything! C- Great, what about you? W- No, I'm done, it's over and I want him to know and accept it. C- Aaaah, well it sounds like perhaps a trial separation would be a good idea so the two of you can think about things. W- YES YES YES how soon can we do this? When can he move out?
Look at the timeline in my signature. I've been here a while. I've seen ^^^this^^^ happen more times than I can count, including in my own sitch.
This is so good. In my sitch, I think the reason it worked, is because while my W wanted S and eventually D, she wasn't ready to rip that bandaid off. I also had a C that didn't believe in S....or D for that matter. Which is why if you insist on doing this I highly recommend a faith-based MC.
