In episode 38 of the Better Relationships Podcast, Dr. Dar, the relationship healer, tackles the sensitive and critical topic of discerning when it’s time to consider divorce. With compassion and expertise, Dr. Dar unpacks the top ten indicators that may signal the end of a marriage, drawing from personal insights, research, and real-life examples.

From the persistent inkling that you’ve married the wrong person to the emotional exhaustion of constant conflict, this episode delves into the heart-wrenching signs that a relationship may be beyond repair. Dr. Dar discusses the toll of disrespect on emotional intimacy and the destructive patterns of communication that renowned experts like Dr. Sue Johnson and Dr. John Gottman warn against.

The conversation also shines a light on the various forms of infidelity, including emotional, financial, and dishonest infidelity, and how these betrayals can erode the foundations of trust and safety in a marriage. Dr. Dar emphasizes the importance of defining cheating boundaries early in a relationship and the potential long-term emotional scars of infidelity.

As you navigate these difficult waters, Dr. Dar guides you through the Five Sovereign Relationship Needs—love and belonging, freedom, fun, power, and safety and survival—and how they play a pivotal role in assessing the health of your marriage. Whether it's rediscovering the joy that brought you together or addressing power imbalances, understanding these needs can offer clarity and direction.

This episode doesn't just highlight problems; it offers pathways to support, whether that’s through professional coaching, therapy, or taking the Sovereign Relationship Needs quiz at needs.drdarhawks.com. Dr. Dar provides a compassionate approach to either rebuilding your relationship or parting ways with grace and understanding.

Before making any life-altering decisions, tune in to The Better Relationships Podcast for an episode that offers not just a mirror to reflect on your marriage but a map to guide you towards a healthier, happier future, whatever that may hold.
