You do not need to go to counseling to discuss a break. If she wants to separate she can pack up her stuff in a box and leave. Period. I'm serious. Good luck w/that, W!
I agree.
I think in counselling you’ll get talked into something not beneficial to you. And I primarily mean you, not the relationship.
If she wants a break, you don’t need to discuss it. Don’t need to make it all pleasant and agreed to. Nope! You just don’t block it, is all.
For example. You do not move out of the master bedroom. If she wants a break from you, and things, she can sleep on the couch downstairs. Or in the spare room. Or whatever she figures out.
You don’t move out of the house, or bedroom.

This ^! I've been terrible at detaching and doing a lot of the right things. However, I told W in no uncertain terms that I would not be leaving my house or bed. That was an easy, no brainer even for me.
