Ben Cohen

Ph.D.

I have learned that the one leaning towards divorce is often dealing with Frustration, disappointment, hopelessness. The path to leaning out varies from person to person, but if you are here on this site, I suspect there is a mixture of hopelessness and desire to repair the relationship.

I have learned that the person wanting to preserve the marriage is often dealing with Surprise, anxiety, fear of loss and abandonment. Again, it varies from person to person, but if you are here it likely means that you desire to continue your relationship, and perhaps confusion or doubt about what you need to do differently.

I have been working with couples since 1991.
