Sometimes someone will say they are giving up because they are frustrated. We're sorry to see them suffer or are tired of hearing them not make headway.
That is not the time to encourage them to leave or support a decision to divorce. There are so many other options.
Sometimes its just time they need to regroup, to learn to do things differently.
Sometimes it's hurt and/or bitterness setting in.
These are the times to help them heal those things, look at the situation differently (an ACT AS IF) and/or soften their hearts.
Most everywhere in the persons day to day life they are likely to hear their spouse is a jerk. It's time to give up. It's time to move on. Your needs aren't being met.
For many folks, this is the only place that supports their chances of recreating the love in their life.
The truth is many people who give up, initially are euphoric they did.....and years later depressed they did. Some of them come back here to DB that next relationship.
Be the voice of hope. The voice of life and love.
