BT - Sorry things did not work out for you. The timing of the cruise was terrible. Probably gave her too much time to think.
Be prepared for a rough ride. Do not talk about divorce, alimony, child support, etc. That will get you nowhere. If it definitely comes to divorce, let the lawyers hash out the details. She is going to try and push your buttons.
Keep doing the therapy and welcome to the support group. Next mtg is 2nd wk of Feb.
After 4 months, my anxiety and depression over this situation has lifted. I eat well, sleep, work is going well and do things I enjoy. But.... each morning I wake up and feel very sad about what has been lost. I look at my 7 year old daughter and say to myself that this is not fair to you. She deserves so much better.
