Q & A: We're Stuck in the Middle of Our Friends' Divorce
When you're best friends with both halves of a splitting couple, as listener Sherry is, things can get messy. Divorce is one of those life events that not only impacts the couple involved but also sends ripples through their connected circle of friends and family. So how do you show love and support without finding yourself stuck in the middle, or worse, causing unintended strains on your relationships and own marriage? In this episode, we dive into these questions and explore ways to maintain healthy boundaries and communications while also supporting your friends through a divorce.
Here are some key takeaways from the episode:
- Love as Individuals
- Respect Proper Boundaries
- Model Good Communication
- Forge a New Way Forward
- Prepare for New Relationships
Remember, it's essential not to let your friends' issues seep into your own marriage. Keep their struggles separate from your relationship, and focus on maintaining harmony at home.
