Before you file for divorce, exhaust the chances of relationship recovery. Spend time trying to reconnect and talk through your issues. Seek professional help and couples counseling. Give it your best shot. If you are at the point of no return and you are definitely ready to divorce your partner, do not discount counseling for yourself. Therapy can help you process the divorce and the differences between you and your ex. Seeking help through counseling is not a sign of weakness, it is a sign that you care about improving your mental and emotional health.
If you have children with your spouse, tread carefully while divorcing. Kids of any age will feel the emotional impact of the divorce and probably have a difficult time fully understanding what is happening. Don’t talk badly about your ex in front of the children. Give them clear reasons why you are divorcing, but do not go into explicit details. Divorcemag.com has some great advice;
“Allow them to spend time with each of their parents and remain guilt-free about it. It’s all about expectations. If you and they expect to be okay with new ways to spend your time, then you will be okay. If you exhibit anguish over every minute they are away from you, then anguish and distress will prevail for them as well.”
