I have learned that the one leaning towards divorce is often dealing with resource fatigue - meaning often this partner is emotionally drained, and feeling helpless and hopeless. This partner often is experiencing some version of grief, to include resentment, for what they have not been receiving in their relationship.

I have learned that the person wanting to preserve the marriage is often dealing with some type of urgency - that may look like an anxious drive to course correct the marriage or a fear of seeing what has happened in the relationship which leads to avoidance of the hurt and pain..

I have been working with couples since 2015.
