Things have unraveled so quickly for Tiger Woods that it's as if a bomb exploded on the night of November 27 - the fateful night of the infamous car accident.
There are now at least ten known mistresses, reports of hush money and, as if all bets are off now, the [...]
The holidays are the most emotionally charged time of the year: if you like where you are in life, it's a magical time, but if you don't like your life circumstances, holiday time can be quite awful.
To those of you who are divorced or divorcing, this can be an especially' [...]
How do you know if your cheating husband is really sorry (and won't do it ever again) or sorry that he got caught for his "transgressions" and won't do it again (until things calm down again)?
To some degree, no one really knows for sure but the best way to judge [...]
Until April of last year, Karen a 45 year old woman with two small children, was married. Ironically (or perhaps purposely) her husband Mick announced to her on April 1st that he was not happy and that he was leaving. He moved out the next day.
As is so often the [...]
People are constantly taken by surprise and let down when their ex-spouse doesn't measure up as a co-parent after divorce - even when they weren't such a great co-parent before the marital dissolution occurred.
Mark's wife, Ann, was a distant mother to their three boys when they lived together in that [...]

I call this a "hit and run" way to tell' [...]
Anyone considering leaving a marriage because of "irreconcilable differences" may want to do some research to find out what normal is when it comes to marital discord. Simply having problems or issues with your spouse can certainly give many reason to question whether the marriage is workable or not, but [...]
Like it or not, you have needs: we all do. We would hardly be human if we didn't. In my work, I am often surprised by how many people - both men and women - either try to deny their needs or don't know they have them.
These unmet needs are [...]
I just read a PT blog post by Bella DePaulo's about the inequities between being married and being single and I have to tell you, I think she's got a point. I'm glad Ms. DePaulo is speaking out about it.
I am a 48 yo old woman and I got married' [...]
The other morning, I read an AP article which quoted Brian Wilcox, the director of the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia, as saying "[divorce is] basically a social and environmental toxin."
As a divorce professional, this type of shaming comment is infuriating. In my view, this mentality is up there [...]
