Questions to Ask Yourself Before Deciding Whether to Stay

Ask questions that return you to yourself
Consider: Do I feel safe? Is there ongoing honesty? What would meaningful repair require? Who can support me without steering me? What practical needs—housing, children, money, health—need attention before a final decision?
You may not know every answer now. Give yourself permission to choose a temporary next step: space, counseling, a conversation plan, or a period of observation. Clarity often arrives through consistent evidence, not a single dramatic moment.
