counselling divorce love marriage

With the divorce rate on the rise, especially amongst the black Africans, the question lingering in my mind is WHY? Why is it becoming more and more difficult to keep marriages intact? Is it because people get married for wrong reasons or with unrealistic expectations? 

It is for this reason that I started the conversation about this issue and the need for people to pause and think. So, if it is your desire to get married one day or you are already preparing to get married, why do you really want to get married? If you were to discover something that negatively impacts the trust you have on your future husband or wife, would you still marry them? If so, why? And if not, why not? If you are married already, can you answer the question why did you want to get married?All Rights Reserved

Our Royal Love - Part 2 of Royally Yours by nidhi181002

"Why don't you divorce him?" the man beside me asked making all the memories hit me like a truck. His smile, his care, his love, his possessiveness, his fight against the families about our marriage, him keeping me and my comfort before everything, that cute banter, romantic kisses, assuring hugs, sincere promises, everything, every single thing about us is still roaming in my mind. How can I leave him when he is the very reason for my existence after I lost everything? But do we have any future? I don't know. "I can't do that. The board members are still not convinced about my abilities and divorcing him is going to backfire on us and they would want me to step down as the CEO. This separation thing needs to wait until I make my place in the organization," I again stalled the advances from my side giving another business reason and he walked away, convinced. I need to act quickly and find the actual culprit before he decides to send a notice from his side. I lost too much in the past 3 months and I am not ready to leave my only reason to live, My Aksh. I have to end this game soon.

Them (completed) by DakedaShanay

Shanay: Whoever says marriage is easy. They are lying. Actually, now I can see why people divorce. It's not because it's an easy way out or because you fall out of love. Well at least that's not why I want a divorce. It's this thing called infidelity that can ruin your marriage and your self-esteem. But then again my marriage was going downhill way before that. I can see why he would cheat on me. I'm a difficult person and lately I haven't been in the mood to talk or be intimate with my husband. Intimacy brings people close together and creates children. I don't want to be close to my husband at the moment and I can't have kids. As you can see intimacy hasn't been a factor for us in a while. It's not like sex with my husband is bad. It's just I'm going through a lot. I'm in a dark place. Christopher:Setting across from this women and I can't seem to figure out how we ended up here. Two weeks ago she handed me separation papers and basically told me to leave. I signed the papers but I still had to fight for what I have always wanted. I handed her the papers and told her she could have everything; the house, the cars, and the money. But only if she could look at me and tell me she didn't love me. Instead, she said, "I love you I can't say I don't."

Falling Short by Zanoobah

My life began in simplicity. I yearned for what any average girl would dream to become, in a world where expectations flourish, yet still being gullible to realise. Like a princess, or even possibly a narcissistic little girl who wants everything to herself, I disregarded the stories told to me during my bedtimes. That 'Beauty and the Beast' was only a figment of one's imagination. That a palace was even a torture ground to those who have absolute control over it, all its inhabitants, and all that are affected by it. The potential bestowed future had been ruined by innocent decisions of my heart, unknown to the tragedy it would inevitably render. In the end, it was my husband, whose gaze I interpreted as one of affection, who was my one and only betrayer. *** | Top Ranks | [#05 in 'Resilience' - 18/04/2023] [#06 in 'Solution' - 28/08/2024] *** Important Note: Those who are easily triggered are advised not to continue with this book.

Bond To Him by crazy_writer_97

#4 in the Doctor series When are you divorcing me?" He did nothing but stare in shock, surprise, and something else-which he shouldn't-yes, he shouldn't feel hurt. There is no vitality or existence in this relationship, and we are drifting like two birds with no destination. "You seem to be in haste to get rid of me?" he questioned otherwise. "It's better for both of us... I mean for three of us. I feel bad that instead of knowing you love someone else, I married you. Maybe if I tried to speak with Dadu, he would have understood it. He would have been angry but knowing that his children's happiness lies in someone else, he could have understood it sooner or later." I thought this wedding wouldn't affect me. I will mind my job but know things have changed. I... I started to love him which I can't say to him. He will never leave the girl he was in love with for 3 years for a relationship of 10 days and that's me. "Can you be without me?" I perceived a drop of rain falling on me I don't know why did he ask me that. And from where this question came? Maybe I will be shattered into pieces, Ekansh. But I acted most weirdly. I laughed at him. "You are saying as if we have been together for years. Come on Ekansh, I am not a love-sick girl." He caught my wrist gently and made me stare at him. "Then, I will divorce you very soon!" He muttered against my face and he sounded angry again. *** Bond to him streams about the couple whose wedding was fixed by their elders when they were kids. Growing up, their thoughts, views, and interests drastically changed. They were on different paths in life. Neither of them was fond of each other until the topic of the wedding was brought up.

KEPT by kuliProm5

"What is it that you want in a relationship? And please, be as descriptive as you can be" He asks with a smooth barritone that rings bells of pleasure in my ears and other places I dare not to mention I ponder on the thought for a moment then I look at him "I want to be respected, I want stability and commitment, I want to be able to build a life with someone, to have them cherish, protect and love me. I want honesty and I want to get married and have a family." I stop and chuckle, feeling all kinds of silly, with the way he's looking at me. I can't tell if he's thinking that I'm too wishful given the era that we live in where people are quick to deceive each other and dive from one partner to the next. Commitment really does seem like a thing of the past. "I want a family, I want to settle down, get married, provide for and protect my wife as I should. I also expect respect, honesty, loyalty and transparency" he says and it almost sounds like we are negotiating terms of a deal "And love"I add "Love..." he says slowly like it's his first time hearing of the word, it almost sounds foreign coming from him "Yes, I want to be loved" "What is love, exactly?"

Corrective Ink by grimreaper_fl

Love is lovely, isn't it? But what happens when the magic disappears and the person you're married to has changed back to the pumpkin they were before? Do you stay single for a while or do you look for comfort in someone else? Do you go through a phase of one night stands or do you conceal yourself from the rest of the world? They say the best way of getting over someone is getting under someone else, but not just anyone else would do for some. On a rare occasion, we find better than we had and it's up to us to unlearn all the toxic behavioral patterns we had accumulated in past relationships. Some of us can't, but there is the one percent that rises to the occasion and conquers. Which are you? What would you do? What are your beliefs? Where do you draw the line? Find out where life takes a soon to be thirty-year-old man after he finds out about the infidelity in his marriage. #blacklivesmatter #blackmarriagesmatter #liveinloveforever #stopcheatingonlove
