Should I reconcile or divorce?

Thinking about divorce can be a difficult time.  You ask yourself, “Is this the best path for me to take?”  Do you doubt your original decision?  Can you make it on your own?  Will your children be okay?

You need to stop and think this through; do not act hastily.  Put your feelings in order.  Sometimes reconciliation can work, but only with the help of a professional couple’s therapist.  You don’t want to fall back into your old habits.  Decide what you want and then ask yourself if you can have this with your present spouse.

Is it possible?  It can only be possible if your partner is willing.  It takes two to tango.  Thinking about reconciliation may mean that you are more comfortable in the entity that you know; it’s a familiar way to live.  The unknown can be frightening .
