Just got off the phone with my STBX. She is very emotional over the D paperwork. "Does not want to lose me". She admitted she does not like to talk to me because she hears about my life with our friends (her old life) and it makes her feel sad....she misses those people and those times...and she "does not have a life right now". She admits her depression is getting worse, and that she is worried about it. She maintains that coming back here and starting her old job, even for a year, would "be a step backward"

We sign the papers tomorrow at 2PM.

Really wish I knew how to deal with this, and would greatly appreciate any advise.
