HAVE YOU JUST REALIZED THAT YOUR RELATIONSHIP IS ENDING AND WONDER WHAT TO DO NEXT?
I imagine you are in tremendous pain right now. Perhaps you've just learned about an affair, discovered that your partner wants to leave, or have decided that it's not right to stay in this relationship any longer. There are few things more painful than the end of a relationship and I am so sorry that you're hurting.
You don't have to go through the hurt, pain, and sadness of separation or divorce on your own. I am here for you and I am here to help.
If you've just learned about your partner's affair, give yourself some time to calm down, take some time to evaluate what you want to do next. I do believe that any relationship can be made better, even one in which there's been a major breech of trust. To evaluate whether or not you should stay or go, I recommend these articles: Can This Relationship Be Saved? and Questions To Ask If You're Considering Divorce.
If your partner has filed for divorce or separation, my hunch is that you're reeling, overwhelmed, hurt, and angry. All of these feelings are so normal and so understandable; please know that the way you feel is par for the course. Surround yourself with people who love you, reach out to family and friends, and give yourself time. You are likely in shock right now and there is a process to healing from divorce. With proper care, you can grow through the process of divorce. Just know that it is a process, not an event, and you need to take it slow.
Perhaps you've decided you can no longer stay in an unhealthy relationship. If you feel that you are compromising your integrity, dignity, self-respect, goals, and identity to stay with your partner, it sounds like you are making a healthy choice for your future. Please take some time to carefully consider your decision. As someone who loves love, I wish that every marriage could be saved. However, I have to acknowledge that some marriages, particularly abusive ones, should not be saved. Please take a moment to review these articles before making any final decisions: Can This Relationship Be Saved? and Questions To Ask If You're Considering Divorce.
