Not all couples make it to the happy ending at the end of therapy. That doesn’t mean that the separation has to be fraught with misery. It’s possible to divorce with dignity, integrity and respect for each other. Show your appreciation, caring and support as you each move into a new future, with acknowledgement for the very important past that you have shared. Take some comfort in knowing that a caring and supportive friendship is still possible! Leslie Becker-Phelps cautions to evaluate your feelings and motivations – make sure there’s not an alternative agenda at work. Don’t hurt yourself or your ex by pursuing unrequited love – it is time to move on. Ultimately, do what is best for you, what makes you happy!
