  • Divorce is an epidemic and it may be contagious. Too often couples don’t take the time necessary to determine if divorce is the right option. But there is a research-based approach that offers couples the time, insight, and tools to empower them to better assess their unique situations based on a series of applicable questions. For mediators, guiding couples through a constructive evaluation of their relationship for a period of six months can offer them the time needed to make an educated decision and potentially avoid divorce.
    An NSU alumna, Michelle Rozen, Ph.D., researches, teaches, and practices mediation and conflict resolution through her divorce and family mediation services organization based in New York and New Jersey. She specializes in conflict management and proactive and productive communications. Rozen is also the author of The Effective Mediation and a writer for the Huffington Post. She helps divorcing couples remedy their unique and varied situations and works with corporations of various types and sizes. Rozen’s mission is to help individuals, teams, and organizations diffuse conflicts and encourage conversation, strengthen team dynamics, and inspire superior performance. Her goal is to help clients discover the underlying potential for growth in every conflict-oriented situation, adapt, and make changes accordingly. Rozen holds a Ph.D. in Conflict Analysis and Resolution and an M.S. in Family Therapy, both from Nova Southeastern University.

    It seems that the reason divorce is so "contagious" is because if someone sees someone else doing it, perhaps they muster up the courage to get out of their own messed up marriage. It shows them that they're not stuck, and it's possible to leave. Of course we all can overreact to certain things and maybe jump the gun too quickly, but I feel that most people stay in unhappy marriages because they feel it's too hard to get out. Of course if children and other assets are involved, people may choose to stay to get the kids raised, which is a good sacrifice (sometimes) for the kids, but we have way too many people in unhappy marriages that are locked by fear.

      True but if a marriage is toxic and abusive and you decide to stay because of the kids you are hurting them and teaching them that it’s ok to stay in an abusive and toxic marriage

      This is SO true. People stay for the kids, bc of money, bc they are scared to be alone or start over. It’s easier in a way to stay in the known than to leap into the unknown.

    As a licensed psychologist, I can say that this advice is extremely harmful to those who have experienced abuse, to include verbal and emotional...especially the subtle kind of manipulation that will have you scoring beyond a 10 for blaming yourself for the marital discord.

    I continue to look for honest advice and feedback from other’s who have experienced something similar. Long story short, for almost 18 years, I have been married to someone who has narcissistic traits. Our marriage has been struggling for a few years now; about 2 months ago we attended our 19th marriage counseling session together. At that session I told my wife that somehow our marriage needs to drastically get better quickly, or I feel we need pull the plug and end our marriage since we have been going to marriage counseling for far longer than we probably should have been going; and not much, if anything, improved. Part of me was hopeful that this was going to be the warning shot and my wife would finally hear me; that she would finally understand that I am done with the narcissistic type of behavior, done with the mean comments, the high level of control, and being made out to feel like I am never doing the right thing, never doing it quickly enough, etc. Unfortunately, the few weeks after that counselling sessions things did not improve, they actually seemed worse. For example, one morning I started her car so it was warm for her when she left for work (which I do for her quite often). I wasn’t looking for a pat on the back, but she very rudely said “oh, thank you so much for everything you do”. One day I went and bought a snow shovel and salted and cleaned the ice from the sidewalk. Instead of getting any type of thanks or appreciation, she told me that it is so interesting that I had time to go to Dollar General (which is about 3 miles from our house) and buy a new shovel and salt. I got criticized for doing laundry and putting in on ‘her side’ of the bed and not having it moved off of the bed so she could lay down at night without having to touch laundry. I got criticized for having the space heater on in the living room. I got criticized for eating all the lasagna; when in fact I put it in a Tupperware container so she could take it in her lunch. I got questioned on going for a walk along the river. It was just relentless verbal attacks. By no means am I a perfect husband, I am far from it, and I have made plenty of mistakes, but I have always tried to be loving and supportive and take care of her and our kids. I have dealt with this type of narcissistic behavior for a very long time. Just another example, I recently learned why I was in severe pain for a couple of days this past summer; I was passing a 6mm kidney stone. While I was in pain, I got in a hot bath to try and alleviate some of the pain. I recall vividly her making a mean comment that I was in the bath while she was doing something for the kids. I have agonized over the decision for many months, and probably years now, but about 5 weeks ago I asked for divorce and have been moved out since that time. She said it wasn’t fair and that I blindsided her, even though we have attended those 19 marriage counseling sessions together; I reluctantly agreed to separation for now. For the last five weeks, I have been buried in loving texts, pictures of our kids and of some fun memories in the past, she sent me the wedding song that we danced too, she has been sending me quotes from the bible, she asked that I listen to various books on making marriages work, etc; she asked that I meet with our Deacon at church and attend a church marriage weekend retreat. She has buried me in a variety of ‘tactics’ to try and get me back home; she has thrown our vows in my face multiple times and said that I am destroying the kids by moving out. I have been holding strong and have not caved by moving back in; recently she has been all over the board with her comments and emotions. Seems silly talking about, but we own a car and a truck. For the last 5 weeks I have drove the truck and she has had the car. A couple of days ago she said she wants the truck, which is no problem, but I asked her why; she said she doesn’t need to answer why, she just wants it. She said she plans on keeping the truck for a few weeks since its not fair that I got to drive it for a few weeks (I don’t know the intentions of this, other than some form of power play, or maybe knowing if she has the truck, I won’t be able to use it to do things I enjoy). She also seems to be getting controlling with the kids; she told me that I am the one who decided to leave them, so its not fair for me to ever get both of our kids overnight while she is alone, since she didn’t decide to leave. I reminded her that I didn’t leave the kids, that I only left her. Shortly after making these types of comments, she follows up with a load of very nice loving texts. This is all extremely hard for me, because she occasionally acts nice and says she is willing to try and change, but seems all over the place with her comments and emotions; I’m afraid I will fall back into the trap. Here recently she has been very frequently saying “I Love You”; almost over using the words. She has made multiple attempts to try and be affectionate, which in a normal circumstance would be fine, but not after we are separated. I worry greatly about our kids, I feel she is subjecting them to a ton of sadness and possibly emotional manipulation, with the intentions being of playing the victim card in front of the kids and trying to make them feel bad for her and make me out to look like the bad guy (she told me she is always crying in front of the kids…and even yesterday when I saw her she cried multiple times in front of the kids). Even though I asked for divorce, I still do not wish her unhappiness; I just want everyone to get along and be nice and supportive with everyone. To make matters even more frustrating, recently she told me she was offered a job in Michigan (about 5 hours from where we currently live in Ohio). I am settled here in Ohio now, have a good job here, etc. I am happy for her that she was offered the job, I know that is more what she wants to do versus her current job, so that part makes me happy; but come on, wanting to relocate now while we are separated. I feel like she is doing everything she can to try and make things difficult for me, especially with our 2 kids. It’s just very inconsistent, it can change by the day, or even by the hour; sometimes she is sweet and nice, then there are plenty of moments of comments and actions that just aren’t nice. Random place to insert this comment….but I just thought it was odd; she claims to want the marriage to work, but considering uprooting to Michigan. I manage all of our finances, a few days ago she said she wants all of our bank account log in information. Which is fine, no problem, it is both of our money; I just thought it was a little odd. Not sure the intentions behind it. Maybe just wanting to see how much is there, if I have been taking any, what I have spent money on; who knows?! I’m struggling on the path forward, so any words of advice would be greatly appreciated.

      I am now about 4 months separated (although, this separation is rather strange as we see each other daily since we have 2 kids together…. I continue to be very involved in my kids lives, coach their baseball team, play with them, take them fishing, golfing, etc). My wife recently accepted a job in Michigan, which is about 5 hours from where we live in Ohio. This past week she took the kids up there to see the area; and I found out a couple of days ago that she put an offer in on a home, which blows my mind. This has been such a struggle for me, and I worked for multiple days trying to put together a perfect message for her, and yesterday I finally got up enough courage to send it to her. Here is the message I sent: “A final decision has to be made regarding our marriage. With you wanting to move to Michigan, it has really backed me into a corner and is forcing me to make a decision. Maybe this is all part of God’s plan, as I struggle greatly with all of this. For the record, I find it very frustrating and unfair on how you feel you can simply pack up the kids and decide to move them to Michigan; but that is something logistically we will need to work together on. The uncertainty of our marriage is not good for you, me, nor the kids. None of us will be able to heal and live our lives with all the unknowns. We all need to get this resolved so we can start working toward a sense of normalcy and stability. Additionally, I don’t want to stand in your way of buying a house, new car, etc. I love you, I will always love you. I will always care about you. I will always want you to be happy and prosperous in life. I will always love our kids and be the best dad I can possibly be, etc. It is simply not fair to you or I, for us to continue our marriage, as my heart is not into it. For sake of time and ease, I want to go through the dissolution process (this is different than filing for divorce). A dissolution is a process where we work together to agree on how finances are divided, shared parenting agreements, etc. It is a less expensive route and can be completed in only 30-90 days, which is much quicker than a divorce. I would assume for your home loan, the bank will want this resolved as quickly as possible. I want you to have a nice home that you are happy with and enjoy, you deserve that; so we will be certain to work things out where you have enough cash for the 5% down payment; as well as enough cash in case you need to put a down payment on a new vehicle. I hope you are willing, but I would like to work together with an attorney as we go through the dissolution process. Regarding Michigan, as I have said before, I am very happy and excited for you; but I won’t be moving to Michigan, at least not anytime in the immediate future. So much of my life I have given to others and have let others control; I want to finally be in control of my life and all of the decisions that are made. I plan on enjoying fishing in the area this summer and spending as much time with the kids as I can possibly spend with them; then I want to enjoy all of the hunting this area has to offer this fall. With you wanting to move to Michigan, and wanting to take the boys with you, this has been the most excruciating decision of my life; I am trying to go about this in the most kind, fair, loving way that I can. Just to be clear, sometime in the future I might move to Michigan, but it won’t be in the near future. I am sorry things got to this point.”
      I thought this was a kind message and I finally got up enough courage to send it. She immediately started calling me….she called 5 times and I didn’t answer; she then texted and said please call me, she at least deserves to talk to me. I regretfully agreed to talk to her last night….the conversation revolved around how this is unfair, she is trying to change, she doesn’t understand what I want or why I want to end our marriage, she can’t believe I didn’t talk with her in person about this (reminder, we attended 19 marriage counseling sessions together), and just on and on and on….I was so frustrated and exhausted by it! She texted me this morning and said she would like all of us to spend the day together and take the boys swimming at the state park. In her text she said she loves me and wants us to try again, but also respects my wants and needs (which I really question). I politely told her that she just spent this past week alone with the kids when they went to Michigan, so I would really like some one on one time with them; she surprisingly agreed, so I ended up taking the boys swimming today to the state park, then grabbed dinner, then brought them back home. Once we arrived, she said would I like to have a bon-fire with her. She is absolutely relentless……why can she not hear what I am telling her, she is exhausting, I don’t know if she is trying to wear me down and break me, or what. What am I doing wrong….I try to be so nice and kind, but dang she makes it hard on me.

    I have listened to 4 videos on 'staying or leaving a marriage'. All of them so far have been from the 'signs that you should leave' perspective, without a balancing 'signs that I should stay'. With this kind of one-way chute, what is created is an atmosphere of, 'how soon will I leave?' A potentially tragic situation that these speakers might not even know that they are helping create, although some are quite transparent that they have full intention of driving a fork between married couples. For the profit mainly, I would say.

    By that analogy it would also mean that to marry or have children we should also need to qualify which I agree with. Every person I know who has divorced spent years (and often a lot of time/money by both parties) trying to make it work or recover from a trauma or infidelity. I agree to do the work but also be brave enough to face the truth in either option.

    Correlation doesn't mean causation. For example the high rates of divorce might also be explained by other factors like living in impoverished neighbourhoods. Of course everyone is going to have a hard time there and divorce rates will be high. But that doesn't mean that just because someone you know got a divorce you are suddenly exposed to a higher risk of getting it.

Divorce isn't an easy choice and people stay in unhappy marriages for a million different reasons. Maybe knowing someone who is divorced gives you the courage and guidance to put an end to a bad relationship.

    The idea that divorce might be driven by sociological standards is not at all outrageous. 50 years ago divorce would've been frowned upon by our peers, you might've even experienced some pretty ugly social sanctions, not to mention isolation (divorce might be contagious, stay away from the "bitter" friend!!) That being said the idea that you can move on in a healthy way is a great thing and should not be taken in to consideration lightly. All actions come with consequences for good or for bad, usually a bit of both.

I refuse to take 50% responsibility for the failure of my marriage, I have tried to make things better for years. But I have come to terms with the fact that there is no pleasing these types of people. I am now trying to find an attorney that understands this dynamic and so far no luck.

    @ByeByeBelly Před 7 lety +21

    Someone qualifies for divorce in my country if they've been separated for 12 months. That's all there is to it. There are no emotional or spiritual "qualifications" for divorce. I was married and wasn't a "family". My husband wouldn't have kids, or work, or stop verbally and physically abusing me. There are a LOT of married people without kids and who aren't "breaking apart a family".
    Getting married in the first place is a silly little tradition. Getting divorced is just a part of the ehole stupid thing.
    It's much harder for people who have to split assets and/or have kids to battle over. My husband restricted me from having a home, kids or anything. The split was instant, I kicked him out of a place he was paying nothing to live in. He can't afford to take me to court to try and get anything of mine and i don't have much.
    I was dragged to marriage restoration counselling and my answer for willingness to be in the relationship was zero. zero zero zero. Not long before that, I'd say it went up and down... but that was the unhealthy part. That's part of domestic violence... it's ups and downs.
    How responsible am I for the deterioration of my marriage? Certainly NOT 50%. I communicated my needs clearly, seeked remorse from him, did all house work, paid all the bills. So no, my responsibility was like a 1 by the time we split up.
    Sometimes your partner is actually an asshole, and won't change due to personality disorder.

Until our culture understands this, every marriage will be doomed no matter who’s at fault. If you’re not Christian, I don’t understand why anyone would get married anymore.

      @@adamv4951 Than the abuser is far from being a Christian. So the way its supposed to work is the man is submissive to God, and the woman is submissive to the God and her husband. But that only way that works is if the first part (the man is submissive to God) is in play. Because if a man is submissive to God he would never take advantage of a submissive wife and would go out of his way to serve her. Also people take a wife being submissive out of context. Just means you live a life to put him as a priority, and if a man is submissive to God he too has to put his wife and marriage as a priority. And without faith and reinforcing that faith the a high priority the marriage will end at some point or they will be miserable.
