I "agreed" to a separation too. I've been fortunate in that when I've given her space, she tends to reach out - so the separation is working as best as it can.

I think your request is totally reasonable.

Try to make it playful at first though. Ask her on a date and try to have fun this time. No point in asking when she's coming back if you can't even enjoy each other's company, right?

Our counselor told us to try to date - but keep it kind of brief. End the dates early so they are more likely to be good, positive experiences that will make us miss each other.

At first more time together meant more arguing. That's starting to improve after about 45 days.
