Divorcing After the Holidays

Wednesday, January 5, 2011

- I do not know where I am ...
- There is nothing more to say ...
- I miss him ...


No doubt, your marriage is in crisis.

Should we rely on the holidays to pick up the pieces or to precipitate the break?

The holiday means relaxation and laziness. You have opened a space of liberty for reflection from the everyday rush that you experience throughout the year.

And you were determined to take stock of your marriage and calmly analyze the situation:

- Who is to blame?
- How did I get here?
- Why is there broken communication?
- What is my responsibility?
- Do I just need to breathe?

The discussion began at a restaurant or during a walk in a quiet place, away from children.

Did this conversation clarify the status of your relationship? What is your assessment now?

- You managed to resume to talks, good resolutions and commitments have been made on both sides.
   Bravo! You started off on the right foot. The holidays have indeed saved your marriage.

or:

- Despite all the efforts, no concessions have been made, everyone remained on their positions. It is the
  misunderstanding and failure that proved reconciliation impossible. Then, you're more determined than ever
  to tackle everything from the start. The holidays usually help you identify the problems in your relationship.

Have you taken advantage of the holidays to take a break?

A temporary separation of 8 or 15 days both of you agree with. Experience a true moment of solitude, without seeing each other, without calling each other.

Take a break in your relationship, step back, reflect on your marriage and measure the degree of attachment to one another.

- What are my feelings?
- That does this relationship bring?
- What do we share?

How did you experience this separation? What is your assessment of this experience?

- You have clarified your feelings and you wait to find that special someone. If you are married, you are
   thinking of how to divorce. Back at home, you've decided to make a clean sweep of past quarrels and
   pursue an adventure for two.

or:

- The single life has seduced you and you felt free at last. Under these circumstances, it is clear that the
   reunion did not go very well. You only have one thing in mind and that is accelerating the separation
   procedure.

When a couple is struggling, there is no magic formula for picking up the pieces, but it is important that everyone is convinced that they have tried everything to revive the love. Thus, the decision to sever is not taken on a whim. It is thoughtful and it will facilitate the future efforts with regard to your separation or all those things like divorce mediation and alimony stuff.
