These women are not walking away lightly. They believe they have done everything possible to save the marriage before throwing in the towel. Many, many times their husbands are blindsided. Listen in as Tim Wade, a relationship coach for men, shares the work he does to diffuse the divorce bomb when she wants out.

After being blindsided by the divorce bomb and a “Walkaway Wife” in 2015, Tim Wade turned his deepest wound into a powerful message of transformation that he has shared with thousands of men worldwide.

Tim shares that women, on average, plan their escapes for two years. Some red flags for men to pay attention to include: a detachment, she stops trying to make the marriage work. She stops nagging. She stops arguing and goes about her life without including the husband in activities. She waits for “D” day.

Tim gives husbands tips on how to react when hit with the divorce bomb. Don’t become simpering fools. Don’t expect a quick fix. Take time to figure out who you are, what you want from the marriage, and what type of life you want to create. Be kind, pay attention, and talk to her. The prize is in creating the life you both want. It is possible, with personal transformation, to reclaim a happy and satisfying marriage.
