The Stay or Go Dilemma

The primary discussion revolves around the critical question many people face in troubled marriages: should I stay or should I go? This dilemma often stems from feelings of incompatibility, unhappiness, or lack of love within the relationship. People frequently label their marriages as failing due to perceived incompatibility when, in reality, they may just be experiencing prolonged conflict or conflict fatigue. Addressing these emotions can help individuals gain clarity about their situation and explore solutions rather than resorting to separation.
