Relationship Decision Support
Questioning a relationship can bring love, hope, guilt, fear, relief and grief, sometimes all at once.
Whether you are considering staying, asking for change or ending the relationship, this group offers a supportive space to understand what is happening, clarify what matters to you and consider your next steps without pressure to make a particular decision.

Who it’s for:
- Adults questioning the future of a romantic relationship. Whether you’re considering staying, making changes or leaving, this group offers support to understand the patterns and experiences shaping your decision.
- People questioning their relationship because of recurring conflict, emotional disconnection, changes in intimacy, betrayal, unmet needs, incompatible goals or uncertainty about whether meaningful change is possible.
- All identities and relationship structures are welcome. This is an individual support group: partners do not attend together.
What to expect:
- A remote, weekly, 90-minute Zoom call with a community of up to 25 group members.
- A supportive, nonjudgmental space to explore mixed emotions, relationship patterns, needs and possible next steps.
- You will not be told whether to stay or leave your relationship. The group emphasizes self-reflection, thoughtful questions and shared experience rather than advice-giving or pressure.
- This support group is not a substitute for crisis services, individualized safety planning or couples therapy.
Skills you will learn:
- Clarifying your needs, values, boundaries and nonnegotiables
- Distinguishing temporary distress from recurring patterns or fundamental incompatibilities
- Understanding how fear, guilt, attachment, loneliness and hope may affect your decisions
- Evaluating whether meaningful change is possible and what it would require
- Communicating concerns, boundaries, and requests for change more clearly
- Identifying intentional next steps and developing greater trust in your decision-making process.
- Explore how power dynamics and factors such as children, financial dependence, housing, caregiving responsibilities or other shared commitments may complicate relationship decisions.
Your Group Leader
Mack Alves, M.A.
My work focuses on helping individuals and people in relationships better understand the patterns shaping intimacy, trust, communication, joy, meaning and connection. I bring a relational, agency-driven and values-informed approach that welcomes diverse identities and relationship structures. My goal is to create a thoughtful, nonjudgmental space where members can slow down, hear themselves more clearly and move toward choices that feel intentional rather than pressured or conflicted.
