A few weeks ago my husband asked me if I would ever leave him. And my answer shocked him… because I told him yes, I would…

We were talking about the couples in our life who have split-up. We’ve lost a few couples to the Big D

For the longest time I thought I hated growing up with divorced parents. I resented it. I swore I would never get a divorce myself. Marriage is forever, I said. Marriage is a commitment, I said.

That’s true, it is. But first and foremost my commitment is to myself.

Now I see things differently.

I am and always will be committed to fighting for and growing in this marriage, however if I got to a point where I felt like I was sacrificing myself, not getting the love and respect I know I deserve or was living a life that didn’t feel aligned – I would be OUT.

For the record, I don’t feel any of those things… I’m just saying for me, marriage is forever – unless it’s not.

I dive into:

• my belief about marriage + divorce

• what I actually resented in my childhood

• my belief about the emotional wellbeing of children after divorce

• the mistake I think some couples make

• my commitment to myself and to my husband

and more.
