Many times when one spouse chooses to leave a marriage it devastates the other spouse. They often plead with their spouse not to leave. Unfortunately, such efforts are not accepted and further rejection is felt. In situations like this it becomes important for the person being left to find inner strength. At times like this it doesn’t have to be pleading and begging, it can simply be "I love you and wish you wouldn’t go, but I cannot stop you." This lets your spouse know how you feel and it also let them know that you understand your value. When one partner leaves it is common to feel rejected and unloved. It is important to realize that such feelings are common but each and every one of us are of value and we need to show our spouse we understand our true value even if they don’t.
