When all your friends around you are getting divorced

In our latest podcast episode, Shlomo and Rivka talked about the phenomenon of divorce being contagious and when all your friends around you are getting divorced.

More inspiration about friends and divorce:

Studies show that there is such a phenomenon as divorce contagion.

When people are in a similar social group and are like-minded, things spread and divorce can be one of them.

Sometimes, divorce contagion happens because it gives us a sense of “permission”- someone didn’t want to be the first person to get divorced but now feels a sense of courage when others around them are getting divorced.

Others may not have thought of divorce as an option, but once their friends are getting divorced, they felt they could too.

When friends around you are getting separated or divorced, it de-stigmatizes divorce because others are doing it.

We talked about protecting your marriage and that it’s not always a good idea to surround yourself with people that may be negatively impacting your marriage, including talking to friends, clergymen, and even individual therapy professionals.
