All the people around you during the time of your divorce can both see and feel the effects. This goes both ways, so you might also be feeling the effects of one of your friends’ divorces.

Picture one of your closest friends telling you she’s getting a divorce. To you, her husband and her have always had the perfect marriage, so the news comes as a huge surprise. Your worries over how your friend and her children will get over the divorce cause you to start reflecting on your own relationship and the issues you have had in your marriage.

Sometimes, within a circle of friends, several might be going through divorce at the same time, which could make you feel like you are inevitably headed for one too. An idea like this can affect your thinking enough to eventually lead to a divorce if you feel that all the eminent signs are there for your marriage.

You can try and convince yourself that your divorce is being handled very privately, but there are always other people involved. Whether it is children, friends, pets or relatives, they will be affected by your divorce. An article in the Huffington Post discusses theories about how parents’ divorces have an impact on how their children will handle marriage in the future, among a few other things.
