Mediator Dispels Divorce Myths
We all know how harmful stereotypes can be, and when coupled with a painful event - such as divorce -- they can do even more harm. Put some of those stereotypes to rest by reading Seven Myths of Divorce.
Licensed psychologist and divorce mediator Orli Peter, Ph.D., says it's a myth that most men cheat on their wives. Peter says research shows that nearly 80 percent of men claim they've been faithful.
Another myth is that women bitterly regret divorce. Peter says that most divorced women do not regret divorcing and are actually happier than divorced men.
Peter goes on to address misconceptions about the emotional and economic consequences of a marital break-up. Peter says the information comes from "recent sociological and psychological studies," but doesn't cite the sources.
