Decision framework

“Should I get divorced?”

The question is reasonable — but the internet answers are usually not. What you need is a framework that makes trade-offs visible.

You can’t decide well if everything is vague. Start by making the decision specific: what exactly is broken, and what exactly would need to change for staying to make sense?

Three clarifying axes

  1. Safety and respect: is there chronic contempt, coercion, or fear?
  2. Repair capacity: when conflict happens, can you both repair — consistently — or does it repeat?
  3. Cost of staying: what is the real cost to your mental health, parenting, and future if nothing changes?

If you want a structured set of prompts (not opinions), start with the free checklist. If you want the full framework, get the guide.
