If you\u2019re thinking of leaving your relationship, it\u2019s because you\u2019re feeling lonely, hurt and hopeless about it ever getting better.<\/p>\n

I still remember how terrible that felt and how much relief I felt thinking about escaping my marriage for those very reasons.<\/p>\n

That pain was real!<\/p>\n

The part that wasn\u2019t so real was my fantasy that leaving the relationship was going to fix my problems and make me feel better.<\/p>\n

The illusion, which I was completely convinced was the truth, was that my husband was the source of the problems that hurt me so much.<\/p>\n

But the reality, I now know, was that most of my suffering stemmed from a lack of training and support in practicing the Six Intimacy Skills\u2122<\/a>, not because of a terrible, incorrigible husband.<\/p>\n

Back then, I would have sworn that it was all his fault and that he was never going to change.<\/p>\n

So my options were to leave or continue to suffer forever.<\/p>\n
