Tripping with Girlfriend when we're about to break up

My girlfriend and I are having a couple nights away by a quiet beach. We have 3 grams of mushrooms and 4 caps we wanna do. HOWEVER she's actually moving away to the UK a few days after...for 3 years. So yeah we're breaking up and I've known this for the past two months and have been pretty upset behind the scenes but still have heaps of fun when I'm with her. But in the last few days I've been feeling particularly emotional about it and will probably get more as it gets closer to her departure.
So my question is - would it be a good idea to trip??
Part of me thinks it's a good idea to let out my emotions. I've only tripped once before and had a blast but obviously I'm in a different mental state now.
I feel like doing caps is safer, but on the other hand It could make my comedown alot worse seeing as I'm already not feeling too happy.
Any advice?? Is this all a bad idea??
Thanks guys

It could be your last chance to spend some quality time with her for 3 years. It doesn’t sound like the break up is the usual “I f’ing hate you”! Rather it sounds like it’s mutual agreement etc. So I for one would go for it.
Good luck, DJ Ed

Your feelings will come out, you shouldn't be holding them in anyway 
It would probably be more beneficial after her departure may as well spill your feelings sober

I think it could be a wonderful experience of sharing time together in a very special way--- so long as she is OK with it too, why not?

That is a bad time to trip IMO because it lacks the "set" part of "set and setting."
Your mindset is not going to be good. It could still go well, LSD and psychedelics in general are very random, but it's asking for trouble. It will probably lead to negative things, but you never know.
Either way, it violates the rule of having a good mindset going into a trip, so I don't recommend it, and I wouldn't do it myself.

I'm with Nooneman on this one; I think the risks outweigh the reward here. Set and setting aren't ideal IMHO.

Amplified feelings of being left behind could easily turn negative. Anger, grief, resentment, despair due to attachment could easily take hold. I'm also going to urge caution while acknowledging it could go either way... But IMHO whatever is said and done should be looked back upon as having taken place with a sober and valid mindset, not one influenced by a psychedelic.

If you're heartbroken over the split I say dont do it. If youre both in happy spirit I say go for it.

I'm of the unpopular opinion that you should trip when something big is bothering you, because tripping helps you come to term with it even if the trip is unpleasant. Worked for me, anyways.

Doesn't look like the OP is all that interested in the opinions he solicited. Hasn't been back to read the advice - at least so far.

Go for it. Make the last few days together a memorable one! <3
It could get very emotional but maybe it would help you guys get all your thoughts and feelings out as well.
