Most of us spend months dreaming about our summer holiday. We imagine lazy breakfasts, sunset walks, laughter by the pool, quality time with the one we love.
Yet for many couples, the reality could not be more different.
After 30 years as a divorce lawyer, I’ve learnt that for midlife couples already in rocky marriages, summer holidays can often expose relationship cracks which might have been hiding in plain sight back home.
January might be known as ‘divorce month’ because of the spike in inquiries we lawyers get after Christmas, but I’m not so sure – I’m always busy after the summer break.
