Autumn arguments and thoughts about leaving: pressing pause together
By the end of September, ongoing tension and darkening days can make even stable relationships feel fragile. Old conflicts return with new intensity, and in the heat of arguments someone may say they want to leave. In online couples therapy we treat these moments as important signals rather than final verdicts. We help you both slow down enough to understand what this threat is trying to protect: dignity, safety, freedom or a sense of being valued. Together we explore whether the relationship needs repair, clearer boundaries or in some cases a careful separation process. You do not have to make that decision alone or in the middle of a fight. If autumn has brought not only rain but also serious doubts about staying together, reaching out now can give you a more grounded place to decide what comes next.
