About 8-10 weeks into the 20 week reflection period.

Have said early on that I regret the decision to apply for divorce. Have been OK with it mostly and have support from a therapist. Wife and I did counselling last year which didn't work, tried again this year with a different counsellor and that stopped after just 2 sessions. I just got to the point where I honestly didn't want to work on the relationship any more.

Woken this morning with fear, the finances look devastating, dreading telling the kids, dont know what life will look like after divorce. I think without this I'd be on target to retire in about 10 years, wife has been stay at home mum for most of our marriage so my pension would be split.

But also would not want to continue the relationship as it has been for the last 2 years.

Any insights comments welcome.
