That Text Hits Different When You're Already Stressed About the Weekend

Friday afternoon. You're done with work, ready for the weekend with your kids. Then a text from your soon-to-be ex lands and you fire back while you're still activated.

I've been a divorce attorney for 25 years. Those rapid-fire text threads become Exhibit A. They get used against you.

This episode covers the 24 Hour Pause: how to stop reacting and start responding tactically.

You'll learn why the "emergency" usually isn't one, what to say when you need to buy time, and why their escalating texts actually mean you're winning.

 

You keep being reasonable, and it keeps being used against you. Every fair offer becomes the floor for a bigger demand. Every concession buys you nothing. That is a one-sided divorce, and it plays by different rules than the mutual divorce your friends went through.

Getting Divorced Without Losing Your Mind is for people living that divorce. Corey Shapiro has spent more than 25 years as a matrimonial attorney in high-conflict cases, and this show is where he explains the game: why staying calm is a weapon and not a weakness, what your spouse's attorney is actually doing, and how to stop reacting and start deciding.

Based on the book Getting Divorced Without Losing Your Mind. For when being reasonable stops working.
