The Loving Truth

Telling My Husband, “It’s Over.”


Listen Later

Making the decision to end your marriage is a journey of its own… but breaching the subject to your spouse is a whole different story. How do you tell your husband - someone you likely still care deeply for, the father of your children, whose life has been intertwined with yours for years or decades - that it’s over?

In this episode, I’ll guide you through how to have this difficult conversation with your spouse so you can finally start moving forward towards happiness. You’ll learn how to meet your husband where he’s at so he can come to understand and accept your decision, even if divorce was the last thing on his mind. You’ll also learn how to map out exactly what to say ahead of time so you can set the stage for a peaceful separation.

In this 60-minute class, I’ll give practical advice on how to process the emotions holding you back so you can confidently take steps toward your new happiness.
