I have learned that the one leaning towards divorce is often dealing with burnout or pain in the marriage, and perhaps a fantasy that divorce will solve this distress through liberation, relief, or a painful letting go.

I have learned that the person wanting to preserve the marriage is often dealing with a tremendous loss of control, fear of losing their partner/ the change divorce will bring, and desperation that can have them reaching for their leaning out partner in ways that push them further away.

I have been working with couples since 2017.
