How do you know when it's time for a divorce?

Answer 1

Every relationship has its up's and down's, so if you are reading this, it is likely that your relationship is on a down. Remember the good times, remember why you first liked this person, and reconsider your options. You do not necessarily have to get a divorce, there are many people out there to help you get your marriage back on track. You could try talking to friends and relations, and many towns have marriage guidance facilities. If you get some help, then maybe the reasons you feel that divorce may be an option will go away. It is sometimes difficult to convince a partner that there are problems within the marriage, so you may need to take advantage of counseling where available, I would imagine that it is a common problem and the counselors may be able to offer some good advice. To complicate matters, there are very often children involved. This can make the decision all the more difficult. However if the relationship has deteriorated that much, then maybe the relationship between you and your partner is having an effect on the children. Every situation is different, so I strongly suggest that you seek help before taking drastic action.
