This is the only meeting we are going to have. He offered me a settlement proposal 1 day after BD, the next day he paid for a joint attorney/mediator for us. We have since looked over the settlement and discussed it, this meeting is for us both to go the attorney and say we agree to the settlement, sign and then the papers will be filed and divorce finalized within 30 days.

I feel like I'm not ready for this 30 day countdown yet, I just need a little more time.

I also have some major work to do this week for my job and the timing couldn't be worse, plus my only real support left today on a 2 week trip so I just know I'm not mentally in a place where I can pretend I'm ok with this.

With that knowledge, do you still think I should make the appointment ASAP or am I buying myself more time by putting it off for a week? When he first went away I responded to a text saying I needed a little more time, and he agreed and said no rush, after the trips away he has had recently (mardi gras...) he came back very much like whats the wait we need to get this moving frown
