I have learned that the one leaning towards divorce is often dealing with hopelessness, frustration, and an almost exclusively negative focus on their partner's real or perceived shortcomings. It can be tough for this partner to imagine that things could change between them, and even tougher to notice their own behaviours..

I have learned that the person wanting to preserve the marriage is often dealing with anxiety, confusion, desperation, and increasingly fear-driven efforts to convince their partner to stay or return to the relationship. It can be tough for this partner to understand why this is happening, and harder to notice their own behaviours..

I have been working with couples since 2021.
