Until now, couples facing the dilemma of deciding whether or not to stay in an unhappy marriage had three options: individual or couples therapy, separation, or divorce. Should I Stay or Go? provides these couples with a fourth option--the Controlled Separation (CS). Should I Stay or Go? explains CS and shows how it can be used as a tool to help couples make the best decision for both partners.
Last night I leaned against someone's cellar door which opened and I tumbled backwards down 10 wooden steps. The incident sums up my current state of being. My head is pounding along with my heart. I know that there are ups and downs - an ebb and a flow in all relationships - but how long do you wait it out? How long do you hold on to a mutual and tangible misery? When does one say when? I just don't know. And scratch that statement I made last week about being done with the self-help genre.
