D I V O R C E
The most important perspective that
I ever received about relationships
came from my own marriage
counseling experience. During
one of the sessions, the marriage
counselor said that; “each of us
(meaning myself and my ex-wife)
are EQUALLY responsible for three
of us being here, and each of us are
50% responsible for the marriage
being in the state that it was in.” To
this day, I still view that moment as
one of the most profound lessons in
relationships and life that someone
has taught me.
No matter what your ex-spouse may
have done that was hurtful to you,
it is also important to take a hard,
sobering look at what you, yourself
did to contribute to the dynamics of
the relationship being what they are.
When you are at the point when you
are ready and able to do this, you
are then taking a huge step in the
grieving and healing process.
To quote Robert Brault; ”Life becomes
easier when you learn to accept the
apology you never got.” For those who
are still unfortunately experiencing the
hurt and pain from past relationships,
it is my hope that you will experience
that ease in your life very soon.
