According to a recent survey, the economic downturn has put pressure on families - more arguments owing to redundancy and threats thereof. Apparently poor finances equals more family breakdown. Really sad but true.

How are you coping? Have you tried mediation? Are you planning to separate in January?

I definitely would say yes! This is something that has been a problem for many many years! The only reason it's getting so much attention now, is the fact that the economy is so bad at this moment! Once the economy turns up again, it won't get that much attention, but it'll still be going on! My relationship is seriously strained, we're working on it, but it' bad! My marriage was terrible, but it's cool, it was a bad a situation financially and it ended because of that, which led to other things, but that was the root of the issue!

Of course there is financial pressure on us, but we feel it's better to face these together then alone.
