No one gets married thinking they’re destined for divorce, and deciding whether you’re in a broken marriage beyond repair or not doesn't come easily. 

But, life can create a marriage and it can break one. Whether you’re in the thick of it surviving matrescence, and breastfeeding, or navigating exactly how to explain the mental load to your partner - all these external factors create an impact on you as a couple. Maybe you’ve been living in a sexless marriage for some time now and, no matter how many times you try to spice up your relationship, you just can’t see it working. The divorce rate in the UK was sat at 42%, according to a 2023 study, so you’re not alone if you think you're heading this way.
