How to Handle a Spouse Leaving

Its' a very emotional time when your spouse is leaving you.
You feel vulnerable, confused, cheated, alone and don't know what to do.
Sometimes you can see it coming and other times you are taken by surprise.
This is a time you must fight emotions and protect yourself.
When a spouse is leaving do not beg them to stay.
If their mind is made up even for silly reasons it is best to let them go.
This is a vulnerable time for you and showing to much weakness will only make them respect you less.
There will be plenty of time for emotions after they leave.
Don't be alone, your fight will be with yourself for a period of time thinking about what went wrong.
If you want to stay occupied think about what was right this will keep you in a constructive mindset for any possible chance to reunite.
You must realize when your spouse is leaving there is a power struggle in play.
They feel empowered and you feel powerless.
You will have a much better chance to make up if you fight the temptation of showing weakness during that emotional moment.
I know it's hard, but you have to realize how the human mind works and the psychology that comes into play when your spouse is leaving you.
If you feel ahead of time something is going to happen get advice, good advice and get informed so when the time comes your spouse announces there leaving you will be prepared.
What do we mean by prepared? You know what to say, how to react, and maybe even role play before it happiness.
There are very few cases that can't be fixed after the dust settles.
There are various reasons why a spouse will leave, money problems, cheating, communication, stress.
Life can throw a lot of crap in the middle of a relationship, if you both care get back to the basics, find a way to forgive, and enjoy life again.
See this as an opportunity for a new and even better start.
For something "Broken" there is a word "Repair" and this is available to everyone.
We are all human, subject to mistakes and if both parties can forgive, a breakup can easily become a makeup, if you try.
When a spouse is leaving you: Try to communicate Protect your emotions Don't cave in (they will respect you even less) Show strength Let the cycle run it's course Look forward, get good advice and explore the options to make up in the future.
