One of the most difficult parts about being a sex and marriage counselor is helping couples to get out of a bad marriage.
At times people get stuck in their own situation and from the inside they are not able to see the misery that they are causing each another or the children that may be involved.
Leaving a marriage is one of the most difficult decisions that a person makes because it involves other people, and in some ways is the death of a relationship or a way of life. The loss of a marriage can cause deep emotional pain on both a husband, wife and the children involved.
The real question is,
do you stay in a marriage that is making you a miserable person and everyone else around you for the fear that you may never find someone else or that you have failed your spouse and children? The fear that you have just become another static in a world were commitment is no longer appreciated or treasured.
This is indeed a very personal matter and one that I believe should be looked at from all areas and come to a decision based on the well being of the entire family. My job as a counselor sometimes is just that, to help a couple get out of a bad marriage and find a place where they can rebuild their lives again separately.
The one fact remains true and that is...... if two people have tried to stay together and worked on their marriage and keep failing ......making it a misery rather than a loving home, then the conclusion of those actions need to be measured and decided upon.
Life is about living not dying or living as a zombie without love or passion in a marriage, staying together for the sake of the children or the principal of marriage itself.
