Alysha Jeney explores why some women choose to leave marriages that, from the outside, seem ideal.

Quotes to ponder:

"They feel vulnerable, conflicted with the newness they have tapped into, but also feel embarrassed or ashamed due to their perceived partner’s neglect in exploring this side with them."

"After years of attempting to restructure her sense of self and feeling insecure and isolated by her partner, she may find herself wanting to end her marriage because she feels there is no other option to feel empowered, confident, and authentic again."

"This new part of themselves can be as simple as gaining new hobbies; a new friend group; a new job; a new sense of confidence."
