Just broke up and have a cruise planned

So I have recently broken up with my boyfriend of 2 years. He is a great guy and we never had any serious issues actually I love him very much. The issue is that I cannot handle his ex-wife. He has children as well with her and I tried very hard to make things work but it is clear to me that I can't handle the situation.

SO! We've broken up and we still have this cruise planned. I'm not sure what to do about it. It's paid for; we have our flight paid for. We were really looking forward to it.

Should I try and keep the plans and just go or just cut my losses ($) and cancel the trip? Go as friends?

We're not unhappy together in fact we are great. It's just these outer issues that have effected my decision.

Hello Sarah, welcome to the forum

I am so sorry to hear that two people loving each other couldn't find an acceptable way to work things out over an ex-partner and kids.

I cannot really answer your question though. You should look into your heart and see if on this cruise you two could end up staying together and work things out, or.. not.

If not, I would cut my losses and back off. The cruise will only hurt you (and him) knowing that things could be great but it just won't happen.
