There are a ton of unhappily married couples but seldom do you hear someone say, “Hey, I might give divorce a try. What’s it like? Can you tell me a little more about it? Do you think I could handle it?” Nah! That just doesn’t happen. Divorce is more frightening to the average individual than…

People ask me why I write about divorce. Their reactions always vary. -They either thank me -Are shocked I am willing to put it all out there -Tell me that they admire that I do -Or admit that though they may not be my demographic and are married, they still enjoy reading this column. I…
