Contemplating
When it is time to finally let go?
If you're thinking about divorce, you have to take that thought seriously. The early stages of ending a long term relationship are scary and can be especially isolating especially if it's not possible to have an open conversation with your current partner. What you need most is clarity and confidence that you’re not rushing, reassurance that you’re prepared for what's next, and peace of mind that you're making the best decision you can.
Think about the kind of future you want and deserve.
When we enter a long-term partnership, we have visions of a practically perfect future. Somewhere along the way, the reality of each other's quirks, the ways that we change (or stay the same), and things have been lurking under the surface finally come to a head or explode in your face. It's then that we have to reconcile what we hoped for our married life with what we deserve for our future.
