Couples whose marriages are in trouble face many difficult decisions, all of which have the potential for serious consequences.
Some of these may be:
- Is this marriage worth saving?
- Will the children be harmed?
- What will be the ramifications of our divorce?
- How deeply will it alter our life?
You may also feel:
- Ambivalent about ending the relationship
- You are the most hurt, misunderstood, damaged, or least powerful person in the relationship
- Your partner is using the myriad of divorce counter plays as a way to stay married
- Intimidated by your partner in addressing and resolving complex and difficult issues
- We would have a great divorce if it weren't for the other party
- The divorce is your last chance to destroy the other party
