Domino effect: three girlfriends in turn divorced their husbands for two years

The results of a recent study by British experts confirmed that the "domino effect" is one of the main causes of 42% of divorces in the country. They say that if your friend terminates the marriage, then there is a 75% chance that you will follow his example. This event forces people to reconsider their own relationships and analyze the problems in them. And here is a vivid example: these three friends filed for divorce one after the other for two years.

What made these women recreate the "domino effect" in their personal lives — find out from their frank confessions.A recent study conducted in the UK has led to surprising conclusions. It turns out that more than 40% of divorces in the country occur due to the so-called "domino effect", when people adopt the example of their friends. Three friends felt it on their own experience when they dissolved their marriages in turn within two years.

Alice Judge-Talbot, a 34-year-old marketing consultant, has been married for four years. She never thought that her decision to divorce would affect her friends so much. The woman met her future husband when she was 18, and married him a year later. Soon they had their first child, and a year later - another child.

After getting married, the young people moved 130 km from Nottingham. At first it was difficult for them, because the couple did not know anyone here. Alice signed up for classes with coach Kaisa, and over time they became very friendly. Then Kaysa introduced Alice to Kaylie, and the three women became best friends. They had a lot in common: everyone has a happy family, children. The girls corresponded every day, and spent time together on weekends.

At the same time, Alice began to have doubts about her marriage. She went to New York for work and spent several weeks away from home. This breath of freedom helped her realize that her marital union was no good. In 2013, she and her husband decided to separate.

At first, the woman was worried that becoming a single mother would no longer fit into the company of married friends. However, despite the changes in family status, Kaysa and Kaylie supported Alice, and she honestly told why she decided to leave her husband and described in detail how the divorce process took place.

Three months after her divorce, Kaysa announced her decision to terminate the marriage. The friends had a frank conversation about all the pros and cons of divorce, but the woman still broke up with her husband.

Two years later, a third friend, Kaylie, announced her intention to leave her husband, with whom she had lived for 13 years. The women were shocked by this news, but supported her. Now all three claim that they have become much happier, and everyone's decision to divorce was the right one.

Ms. Larkas met her ex-husband 19 years ago, and in 2007 and 2009 they had children. After that, they formalized the relationship, and the woman had no idea that their marriage could break up. But over time, tensions began to increase in married life.

In 2013, the couple sat down and discussed the topic of divorce. As a result, both came to the conclusion that it was better for them to part. Her friends supported Kaisa, and they remained friends with her husband. When Kayleigh announced two years later that she was also filing for divorce, Ms. Larkas understood her feelings very well and expressed her support.

Miss Burbage had a lavish wedding in 2002. The girl was convinced that her and her husband's love would last a lifetime. She noticed that the "divorcees" are not treated very well, and never wanted to be one of them.

The "domino effect" really works: when one knuckle falls, others begin to stagger and collapse after it. So it is in life: when a loved one makes a decision about divorce, we involuntarily begin to dig into our feelings and find negativity. This inevitably leads either to long proceedings, or to the end of the relationship. Maybe you shouldn't look for reasons to leave, putting an example of someone else's story on your personal life?

Betrayal of a best friend is worse than divorce: so say three British writers. They say that they suffered a breakup with close friends more painfully than parting with their beloved men.
