4. They Are Influenced By Western Culture & Social Media

The last decade or two has seen the Internet make a great impact on our daily lives. We are constantly influenced by what we see, hear, or read online. Our relationships aren’t any different. We “like” couples who are divorced since they made a lot of money from the lawsuits, and other comments we read online encourage couples to go their separate ways if there are irreconcilable differences. It’s easy to encourage someone to stay in a marriage that doesn’t seem to be working, but when it’s your turn what will you do?

Will you join the statistics of those online who have decided they can no longer cope or exhausted all options to make it work? As long as we follow others — trailing their daily lives, feeding our minds on the decisions they make in their personal lives — we might find ourselves walking in their footsteps when we need to make a choice as serious as filing for a divorce.
