Is your marriage falling apart? Have you and your spouse tried therapy or perhaps soul searching? Do you suffer from self-doubt or anxiety? Deciding to separate is no easy task, especially if children are involved.
Typically, this stressful process of deciding whether to end your marriage takes place behind closed doors. You may have told some close friends or family members about your struggles. However, for the most part, you and your spouse put up a good front when it comes to the outside world.
Are your friends central to your lives? Do you worry about what they will think if you divorce? Is it because of this fear that you stay in a miserable marriage? Your concerns are common because some friendships do change following a divorce. I can assure you that you are not alone; you cannot imagine how many other couples are going through what you are.
If you are struggling with the decision to end your marriage, I would suggest you try to keep your concerns about what others might think to a minimum. What matters most are you and your family, and what, if anything can be done to save your marriage.
