There is a saying around here to hope for the best but prepare for the worst. My radar went up when you mentioned she said she can't work on the marriage until you are legal separated. That's manipulation to get what she wants in the separation.

Pretty much accept for your last point. No conversations. Let the lawyers handle it.
So just to be clear, if we meet tomorrow and it turns out it's actually divorce papers, I should basically just say "I'm not going to go over this with you, I'll handle it through my lawyers" and leave?
