People frequently make the mistake of comparing how much they would see their kids after a divorce with how much they would see them in a happy marriage, or their potential sex life after divorce with what it would be in a happy marriage, or loneliness after divorce with the lack of loneliness in a happy marriage... forgetting that THEY AREN'T IN A HAPPY MARRIAGE!  In this episode, I explore what the true comparison point should be, and how to reframe it to be more rational in your decision making.
