💔 The 4 A’s: Adultery. Addiction. Abandonment. Abuse. 💔 As a licensed therapist and professional counselor, I want to speak truthfully and compassionately—these four issues are serious breaches of trust and are valid grounds for divorce or a breakup. No one should feel obligated to stay in a relationship where they are being betrayed, neglected, or harmed. However, I also know that relationships can survive the 4 A’s—but ONLY with intentional work, deep accountability, and sustained behavior change over time. Without true transformation and consistent effort, healing and rebuilding trust become nearly impossible. If you’re in a relationship affected by adultery, addiction, abandonment, or abuse, know that you have choices. You deserve safety, respect, and love that is real and lasting. 💡 Healing is possible, but not without change. Protect your peace. Prioritize your well-being. Choose what serves your growth. If you need help, I’m here to assist. Visit www.couplescounselingcenter.org to learn more about how I can support you.
