If you are considering divorce, you are likely facing several dilemmas. Here are three of the most common divorce dilemmas:
- I do not want to get divorced.
Many marriages fall apart because both spouses realize they no longer wish to remain married, but a common dilemma that some people face is that they wish to remain in the marriage while their spouse does not. According to Psych Central, it is likely that those facing divorce feel emotionally devastated, financially drained and as though they have no control over their life or their future. Experts recommend that you evaluate your feelings as honestly as possible and establish whether you wish to remain married because you truly love your partner or because it is safe and familiar.
- I am unsure if divorce is the correct approach.
There are several factors that you must consider when facing a divorce. Financial, family and lifestyle changes are inevitable, and it is common to feel as though you must take everything into account before making a decision. There is no perfect solution for couples who grow apart, and there is no guarantee that the decision to divorce is the right one, but the best way to approach the situation is to stay true to your emotions.
- I blame my partner.
Many people will avoid responsibility for the failing marriage and will place all the blame on their spouse, according to Psychology Today. It is common to feel resentment and anger toward your spouse, but experts suggest that this seldom achieves anything positive.
Instead, focus on why you feel the way you do, and confront your fears and sadness directly. Assigning blame in the divorce proceedings will only serve to increase the stress during an already trying time.
