Retrouvaille?

Hi, I'm new to this board. Have lurked a bit over the past month. Am curious who has gone to the marriage weekend Retrouvaille and if you could give me some information.
I am mostly concerned about what to expect. I realize this weekend is about building communication, however, there are some things I am not sure I am ready to divulge to my spouse.
We are basically at the point of separate/divorce or do this. There are no other options. However, I am not sure that this will even save our marriage if he knew some things that have gone on with me. Particularly an A I have had with a man who I am very much in love with but have ended the relationship with. This is still a very open wound and I still cry often about the situation.
If you know anything about Retrouvaille, can you please share? Is the A something I should disclose before the weekend, if we choose to go or is it something I will have to get out on the table during the weekend?
It is not a good place to be, but I owe it to my life, my spouse and my child to show I have tried.
Thanks in advance for your help.

If you want to save your marriage Retrouvaille is a good place to start.
I didn't get that chance. My stbx wasn't willing to work on it.
I would guess that honesty is a pretty big factor in saving a marriage and so would guess in order for Retrouvaille to be the best possible opportunity you would be encouraged to be honest.
Maybe you could ask a priest at your parish (I am assuming your are Catholic) about it. If you do this in open confession then the priest has to keep your information confidential; he couldn't tell anyone and you would get your answer.
