Who should I talk to if I'm considering a divorce?

If you are considering divorce, once you have really thought about it yourself and have become clear on why you think you want to split up, the best thing to do is talk to an objective third party. That doesn't mean your parents or siblings because they're not going to be objective. The problem with talking to a friend or relative is, if you decide to reconcile, once you have portrayed the other person demoniacally as people often do, it's very hard to go back and say, "No, no, I've decided to stay with Joe, Frank or Sue and they're great!" You've convinced someone else, because you want to convince yourself that they're really bad and you need to get out of the relationship and get a dicorve. So it's a good idea to talk to a third party who's objective. This can be a professional, like a psychotherapist, your family doctor or your clergy person that you see on a regular basis. Anybody who's going to have an objective, non-biased view and really help you figure out what you need and what you want when considering divorce.
