Go on the retreat Ohgosh. I spent two months in South America when my WAW left and it was one of the best things I could have done. She needed space, and I used the time to figure out a lifetime's worth of my own introspections.

Give yourself the gift of travel if you can. I met incredible people with incredible stories but mostly came to the realization that the world was a much bigger place than my problems, and my life could be amazing without her presence. The trip was by no means easy, nor comfortable, but the lessons have shaped every aspect of how I want to live the next 25 years of my life.

I say do it! What do you have to lose at this point?
