I’m thinking of divorcing my partner, but in the meantime, I’m having a hard time concentrating on work. My performance hasn’t been affected yet, but I’m having a hard time managing my unhappy personal life while working a demanding job. I’m also considering moving out since we’re both wfh together so I can’t escape. Any tips? My family lives in my native country so no one to turn to now.
