Divorce Happens for Many Reasons

Couples get divorced for many different reasons unique to them. People can grow apart for various reasons. They can stop connecting if they aren’t able to spend time together. There may be instances of infidelity. There may be domestic violence involved. Whatever the reason, Florida offers divorce to anyone, regardless of the reason.

Talking to People Outside the Relationship About Divorce

The decision to divorce is a personal one, and it’s understandable that you might not want to discuss your situation with just anyone. But it does help to get an outside perspective and to voice your thoughts. Spending some time talking with a close friend or relative that will listen without judgment and without making unsolicited offers of advice can help you sort through the thoughts that are likely spinning in your head.

If you’re not at the point where you want to bring this out into your circle, a therapist or religious/spiritual advisor may be a good alternative. Having the counsel of someone outside the relationship can provide a different point of view or way of thinking about the situation you are in.

Talking to Your Partner About Divorce

First, if you are in a relationship in which you are being abused in any way, talking things out with your spouse usually is not a safe option. If this situation applies to you, contact the Florida Domestic Violence Hotline for support and assistance.

Talking about divorce with your spouse is a difficult and uncomfortable thing to do. It may work best if you block out some time when both of you have time to listen and discuss whatever issues are out there, without interruption. If possible, pick a time when you are both at your emotional best. Sometimes this may seem almost impossible, but it’s important not to delay discussing your feelings just because you are not both at your best.

Having an open conversation about why you are thinking about divorce could actually open up space for healing the relationship.
