In episode 3 of Divorce Sux the podcast, learn about how you can get better at Communicating with the Ex.

According to Google trends, the search term ‘Divorce’ peaked in the first week of 2017 for all the western countries (01:16).

Today we discuss where difficult conversations come from and how we actually engage in three dialogues at once, those being:

1) The ‘what happened’ conversation,

2) The ‘feelings’ conversation, and

3) The ‘identity’ conversation (03:11).

We discuss practical hints and tips on what you can do to have better conversations with your ex, keeping in mind the three dialogues (10:12)

We discuss the importance of the mantra, ‘respond, don’t react’ (11:05).

We also offer encouragement to Al, our listener of the week (29:15).
