The biggest question I get from clients is…
The biggest question I get from clients is...why doesn't my wife seem sad about the end of our marriage?
Here's the situation: Your wife asks you to move out of the house and she's filing for divorce. She doesn't bat an eyelash, shed a tear, or show any emotion as she changes the locks and puts your stuff in driveway.
I have been in that situation and I know it's confusing.
Do you want to know the truth?
➡️It was painful, emotional, and traumatizing to her....3 weeks ago when she made the decision.
➡️But she talked to her friends, saw a therapist, hired a lawyer and put aside the emotional and focused on the transactional and the logistical parts of divorce.
🌟She's ahead of you on the shift from emotion to action, but you will catch up.🌟
In the meantime, here's my plan to keep you afloat until you understand and can work with the natural emotions that you are feeling:
✔️Cut off all direct contact with your partner and only communicate via email. Unfollow them on social.
✔️See your doctor about anxiety meds. This is no time to tough it out.
✔️Spend time outside, in the big world, instead of inside your head.
✔️Talk to a coach or therapist or both and make a plan to move forward.
I did it and I know you can too, build a new life, strong and free after divorce.
