My stbx and I have tried our best, over the last year or so, to remain on cordial terms as we go through our divorce. We have no children and no joint assets, and were only married for about 1.5y.

For extended periods, we manage to stay friendly and accept the course of things.

Over the last days, I've kind of gone into a tailspin though. I'm facing a lot of difficulties at work, and in life in general, and we had a small in-person moment of tension.

Since then I've spent several days catastrophising all kinds of scenarios, wanting her back, feeling depressed, etc. - all of which came out in a conversation with her tonight.

I know the usual advice, but we're trying to both stay in touch and part on good terms. Our divorce should be finalised in about 8 weeks.

Has anyone else gone through this, and have specific advice for how to stay emotionally balanced throughout the process?
