With September just around the corner and the summer holidays starting to draw to a close, people the length and breadth of the UK are starting to reflect on the events of the last couple of months. The diamond jubilee celebrations, a Brit making the men’s final at Wimbledon, London 2012 providing the greatest British medal haul at an Olympic Games since 1908, the impossibly perplexing weather conditions of ‘the great British Summer’ and the highly anticipated annual family holiday.

Despite the overwhelming sense of joy and celebration that accompanied many of these events, for a great many people this period of reflection will result in one overwhelming conclusion.

They aren’t happy.

In a lot of cases, they aren’t happy with their relationship and the impact it is having on the rest of their life.

Perhaps that long awaited holiday, the one that was supposed to rejuvenate their relationship, failed to live up to expectations. Maybe despite being able to spend more time together with their partner, they still felt alone or isolated. The added strain of the summer holiday put too much pressure on parents who were desperately trying to balance all of the demands on their limited time, without the much needed support of their partners.

There could be any number of contributing factors. The end result however is the same.

The differences come when people try to decide what to do with this new found realisation. Some people will decide to suffer in silence, trying to embrace a belief that something may change; that things might get better. Others will seek out the services of an experienced relationship counsellor in an attempt to resurrect the relationship that they once had. Those that see no light at the end of the tunnel, no chance of improvement will opt for divorce.
