In this season of MID, we are answering the dilemmas and questions that you, our listeners, have sent us.

This episode is all about divorce and separation—when it might be the right choice, what typically leads to it, and how to navigate it in the healthiest way possible. Our guest, Nikki Parkinson, has been through a divorce herself—an especially unique one—and now dedicates her work to helping others through their own journeys.

The dilemmas that Nikki & Holly tackle in this episode are:

I have fallen out of love with my husband, but I don't know if I can afford life without him. What do I do?
I’ve been divorced for almost two years, and my ex wants to introduce his new partner to our children. I think it's too soon, but he thinks I'm being jealous. Should he respect my wishes?
I’m having an affair with someone I met at work, and the sex is amazing. Do I have to tell my husband?
How do I know it’s really over with my partner of six years—my first same-sex relationship—when she says she’s unsure, has moved out, but still calls and comes back?
