I have learned that the one leaning towards divorce is often dealing with feelings of exhaustion and frustration, while at the same time wondering whether there is a chance for healing and growth together versus getting divorced. They also want to be heard and understood about how they got to the point of leaning out and that they do not want to be causing their partner pain.

I have learned that the person wanting to preserve the marriage is often dealing with feelings of fear, confusion and betrayal. They want to understand their partner's reasoning while also hoping that their partner will find the strength and motivation to continue working on the marriage.

I have been working with couples since 2000.
