Telling your spouse you want a divorce

Has your marriage deteriorated to the point that you want a divorce?  Does your spouse know how you feel?  Will he or she be taken by surprise?

While there are advantages and disadvantages to every possible scenario on how to speak to your spouse about divorce, ask yourself whether he or she would accept the news more easily in a public place of in the privacy of your own home.  In addition, if there are children involved, will your children be in danger upon breaking the news?

Unfortunately, how your spouse handles the news is not always predictable or positive.  He or she may lash back or react with silence. He or she may leave the house to think.
