BEN COHEN

Ph.D.

I have learned that the one leaning towards divorce is often dealing with feeling frustrated that the same frustrations keep happening, and you don't see things changing. It may feel too hard to stay, but there is still some good that is hard to leave.

I have learned that the person wanting to preserve the marriage is often dealing with having a strong desire to stay together, and some confusion or frustration about your partner's ambivalence. You may feel like your partner doesn't accept or appreciate you, or like whatever you do it's never good enough.

I have been working with couples since 1994.
