Well, when he ends up in that depressed state, the anger goes away, so he's no longer angry. The fighting has has went way down and maybe non-existent. He just doesn't have the energy to fight anymore.
Divorce can feel like an emotional rollercoaster, especially when one spouse appears indifferent or even cold. In Episode 188 of the 'Surviving Divorce Podcast', titled 'Why Is My Ex So Unconcerned?', the host dives into the emotional labyrinth of divorce to shed light on this common yet perplexing behavior. Drawing from his own experience, he uses relatable analogies to explain why the spouse who initiates the divorce might seem emotionally detached.
Imagine you're on a journey with your father; if he has already mapped out the route and you're just starting, your perspectives and emotional states will differ significantly. This analogy helps illustrate how the initiating spouse may have already processed their emotions, leaving the other partner to grapple with shock and grief. The episode breaks down the stages of grief—anger, bargaining, depression—and how they play out in the context of divorce.
It's a candid discussion that not only offers understanding but also hope for those in the thick of separation. By the end, listeners are reminded that healing is possible and that one day, their ex might just be another person in their life. For anyone feeling lost in the maze of divorce, this episode serves as a comforting guide, offering both empathy and practical advice.
