Coping with
Getting
Separated
Historically, there were strict societal punishments around leaving a marriage. Religion didn’t allow it, parents disapproved, and society would shun divorcees. But these attitudes have shifted, and the opportunity to explore and design the future of our relationships is now an option.
The problem with options is that there are sometimes too many. The only thing determining whether we should stay or go is how we feel, which can be very confusing for a guy who’s not in tune with his emotions. It’s hard to work out how we’re feeling as our attitudes towards our partner shift throughout the day. We might feel full of love for our partner in the morning, but by bedtime, we’re feeling resentful and getting separated.
That’s why getting separated can be useful. It gives the chance to gain perspective and look at the relationship from a different vantage point.
Working with a professional, such as therapists for men, can help determine what the right course of action is and create a future with stronger, more meaningful relationships.
The Stress of Separation
Deciding whether to break up is stressful. Not knowing if you’re making the right decision or what the future holds can cause anxiety, depression, or grief, which in turn can negatively impact your physical and mental wellbeing in a number of ways:
01 Physical
- Feeling tired and drained
- Frequent illnesses
- Headaches
- General aches and pains
- Changes in appetite
- Sexual dysfunction
02 Behavioural & Emotional
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Substance abuse
- Violence
- Homicidal thoughts

Coping with Separation using Therapists
For separations to work, they need to be handled constructively. First, we look at how you got there, which may be rooted in your upbringing and believes about love and the purpose of relationships. We’ll then use counselling and coaching to help you make objective decisions and design your relationship’s future.

Taking Action
I just needed a practical way of working through the problem. I didn’t want to be on the couch. I wanted to take action.
