Are they right for you?

ELLIOTT Katz was stunned to find himself in the middle of a divorce after two kids and 10 years of marriage.

“She just didn’t appreciate all I was doing to make her happy.” He fed the babies, and he changed their nappies. He gave them their baths, he read them stories, and put them to bed. He bought a bigger house and took on the financial burden, working evenings to bring in enough money so his wife could stay at home full-time.

He thought the solution to the discontent was for her to change. But once on his own, missing the daily interaction with his daughters, he couldn’t avoid some reflection. “I didn’t want to go through this again. I asked whether there was something I could have done differently. After all, you can wait years for someone else to change.”
