Divorce Lawyer on Signs of a Doomed Relationship | James Sexton

No marriage or relationship is flawless; they're all different. What works for one person might not work for another. But I've figured out that there's always a way to fix things when there's a problem. Five years back, my wife and I were on the brink of divorce because of issues in our marriage, but we found a way to fix them. It was hard, but we made it through.

Everytime I see James Sexton is a guest, I click on it. He never disappoints! Thank you, sir, for being a voice of reason in a crazy world!! 💛

Such a refreshing conversation. My first marriage was a disaster because of pressures put on me by my family. After escaping abuse I decided I wasn't doing that again. That gave me freedom. I've since remarried for great reasons to a great man but the freedom of not being pressured helped me know that the time was right to do it.

Kind, well-meaning people often become irrational when pushed too far.

contempt...it's contempt for me. if someone shows you contempt. get away. they mean to see you hurt and fail.

James Sexton seems a very balanced and grounded man... a rarity... and I always learn from the interviews with him. Thank you.

By the time people need a divorce lawyer- it’s the worst of the worst.

People hate James for being anti marriage, but he makes so much sense when navigating the modern marriage market !

James, the hugging thing, are you trying rip my heart out? I can't even think about my ex like that without tearing up.

In my romantic relationships, I’ve always remained adamant that I require my partner and I go to premarital counseling before cohabitating (And Before engagement). Learning how to effectively confront and navigate conflict in a healthy way (with patience, love, & understanding) is fundamental to happy enduring relationships. I’ve had a few partners request that I move in with them and I’ve always said no. I think it is So important to build the Strongest foundation possible Before commingling assets, future life trajectories, finances, children, etc.

Love is not the peak experience, it's intimately knowing and being known by someone.

I think every time I’ve seen a prenup in the media (ex: movie, news, reality tv, etc) there’s always a judgement of “one of them asked for a prenup, they must not be sure about the other person, they must be worried.. I don’t really see a prenup represented in a positive light often. It’s never “well I have a house and he’s got a business and we want to protect what means something to us FOR each other. We love each other and we are doing this out of respect for each other’s needs” 🤷🏻‍♀️ it is always drama. It’s just how it’s cultivated for the average person. Then people grow up watching this material and it creates bad associations with the concept. Ex: “if I ask for a prenup, it will hurt the other persons feelings and tell people I don’t love my future spouse”

The majority just fall into lust, love is sacrifice.

"Tradition is peer pressure exerted by dead people" - I use this in my daily life all the time. It's so frustrating when people are locked into doing things the way they are because that's "the way it's done". But why? If evidence-based testing reveals something better, what's the value in sticking with the deprecated method?

I'd rather continue being alone. After leaving a covert narcissist I can do everything for and by myself...even self-pleasure. Life is fantastic.

interesting, but never forget, this guy is a DIVORCE LAWYER

This is my first time hearing James Sexton speak. Outstanding well balanced conversation from a high profile divorce lawyer's point of view. I'm listening to his insight and perspective through my earlier 25 year old ears. And now through my 50 year old ears. Huge difference.

James is on a different stratosphere to most humans and always a complete pleasure and education to listen to. If only more people were as wise kind funny and normal as him! The human race truly is disintegrating and the interviewer is a good example of that
