Social media convinces women there is something wrong with their husbands and they need to get a divorce. Don’t believe me? Take her phone one day and see what the algorithm sends her. The scroll will be filled with stuff like: “You’re in a silent divorce if you feel: • You can’t share your concerns • Lonely when you’re not alone • It’s more peaceful away from him • Date nights feel forced not exciting • Physical affection is non-existent • You feel like roommates not friends • Conversations are about kids & work • You no longer believe he will change • You found yourself grieving married • You feel emotionally exhausted • You no longer want advice from him • You are constantly walking on eggshells • You can’t remember good time’s • You desperately want things to be different Social media tells you to walk away from responsibilities and commitment But here’s the truth: Feelings aren’t facts. You will feel all of these things Regardless, if you’re single or married. It’s a natural reaction to feel alone and overwhelmed when you go through; illness, financial stress, raising children and handling responsibilities that are bigger than yourself. That’s not your spouses fault. Your spouse isn’t to be blamed. When you live in a society of unsustainable lifestyles and endless illusion, it’s always going to feel bad. How do change this? Feeling like roommates? Initiate intimacy. Can’t talk about concerns? Encourage and respect your spouse more than you complain. Lonely while together? Focus on the good, not on the things you both hate. You’re not twins. Date nights are forced? Don’t make date nights a production. Cook a meal at home and be present not on your phone. No longer believe they can change? Stop trying to change the person you married. Deprogramming from social media is the only way to prevent a divorce.
