Making The Difficult Decision To Break Up

Many people, once they are married feel obligated to remain in that marriage no matter what they are feeling and quite often, even when they are feeling very bad in the relationship, they do not see a way out of know how to get out and this leads to many mental health problems and many other issues. However, it is important for you to remember that you made this choice to be in this marriage and you are free to get out of the marriage if you are unhappy and that your physical and a mental health is the most important thing.

Many people believe that because they have children, they are now forced to remain in the marriage but again, this is not true and sometimes, staying in a toxic marriage can be worse for children than if their parents had a mutual breakup and shared the responsibility for the children.

Knowing when to walk away

Many people often do not know when to call it a day and choose to end their marriage and they end up staying in a difficult and toxic marriage for a long time irrespective of the way that they are feeling inside. Sometimes, it might not even be that they are fighting with their partners a lot but it could be that they are simply unhappy. If you have felt bad for a long time, it is important that you speak to your partner about the potential of getting a separation and then, speaking to your family lawyer about what the procedure for getting a separation is.

You need to understand that staying chained and trapped in a marriage that you are unhappy in will make you sick and can sometimes make you take it out on your children without even realizing it. If you are the one on the receiving end of the conversation where your partner has told you that they would like to end your marriage, it is important that you remain calm and listen to your partner. You can take some time to have a discussion with your partner and speak to counsellors about trying to understand your problems. If you feel that things are beyond fixing, you can speak to family lawyers and try to deal with the problem amicably.

Although sometimes it might seem like the end of your marriage is the end of everything you have ever known, things do not have to be as bad as that. Many couples have remained friends even after their divorce and although you will not be living together, you can still work together when it comes to your child.
