Episode 17: The Top Reasons Marriages End…and what they mean for you

In this episode, I discuss the top reasons marriage end, and break down what I believe are deal-breakers in each category:

  • Infidelity
  • Addiction
  • Lack of support
  • Communication issues
  • Money problems
  • Lack of individual identity
  • Unrealistic expectations

I also tell you about my wine-tasting vacation with my mom, and how my ex-husband helped me get a brand new $3,000 mattress FOR FREE!!!
