She says she wants time away to be able to evaluate what she wants for the rest of her life
The foundational question is.....what does she want for the rest of her life that isn't being fulfilled in your marriage?

I know for me it was financial security. I KNEW I could handle my own finances perfectly well without the HUGE screwups my now ex H kept creating without saying anything. Best move I made was leaving but that was a HUGE thing that impacted my future.

Maybe she needs to DEFINE what she really wants & what is missing. Marriage counseling could help though it didn't for us because he was beyond changing as it had been an issue all 33 years we were married only my career had carried us through his stupidity.

Gotta define a problem, want, desire before it can be worked on & separating from it may or may not help in addressing it
