Relationship expert speaks on privacy during divorce

A relationship expert, Paula Quinsee, shared that divorce is a personal journey and should be a private matter:

“Divorce is a deeply personal experience and journey, and involving family in decision-making can complicate their own clarity. Family members may mean well, but their perspectives may be biased, clouding your ability to prioritise what’s best for you by imposing their own ideals on you, so it’s best to try and define your own needs and boundaries first before seeking input from others.
“Family members naturally want what is best for us, and they mean well, but will naturally have an emotionally charged perspective on your partner or marriage, making their advice less objective. A therapist or neutral party can provide perspective without the emotional dilemma, helping."
