Therapists’ Take on How to Know When It Is Time to Leave. The decision to leave a marriage or a committed relationship is hardly ever an easy decision and it’s even harder to execute. As much as we applaud the courage it takes to leave when that time comes, it doesn’t change the reality that it is supposed to be hard. It shouldn’t be an easy decision; and it most definitely shouldn’t be a knee-jerk reaction.
In this episode of Therapists’ Take, podcast hosts and professional couples therapists, Josh and Carrie, are going to discuss a question that is often dreaded and sometimes painfully avoided - How do I know when it is time to leave my marriage (or committed relationship)? The format of this episode will go as follows:
- When does someone have the “right” to leave?
- What are the valid concerns or fears in staying or leaving?
- Valuing Togetherness Over Happiness Diminishes Accountability
- Josh’s Paradox: If you’re NOT willing to lose each other, you’re NOT ready to have each other.
Please join us for this discussion.
