It’s hard to ignore the financial pressure right now. Mortgage rates have shifted. Rent is high. Everyday costs keep creeping up. For many families, the numbers just feel tighter than they did a few years ago.
If you’re thinking about separating, or you’re already in the process, the cost of living might be weighing heavily on your mind.
For some couples, money becomes a reason to pause. For others, it becomes a reason to move forward more thoughtfully. Financial pressure can bring clarity, but it can also create fear and second guessing.
We see every day that separation is never just emotional. It’s financial too. And in the current climate, those conversations can feel even more loaded.
So we’d love to ask the community: Has the cost of living affected your decision to separate, or the way your separation is unfolding?
Are you delaying, accelerating, or rethinking plans because of money?
Sharing experiences can help others feel less alone in their own decision making. If you’re comfortable, tell us what this period has looked like for you
