A relationship expert shockingly revealed that you should imagine breaking up with and even divorcing your partner to know if he is who you are.
Influencer and podcaster Christina Najjar, known online as Tinx, 31, from Los Angeles, California, has been dubbed “TikTok’s older sister” and regularly shares relationship and mental health advice with her more than 1.5 million followers.
Most recently, the 31-year-old shared an email she received from an unnamed relationship expert who offered some advice on how to keep a romance going – and how to know if the relationship is really meant to be like this.
Among the pieces of advice, the relationship expert advised asking yourself what “clothing item” in your closet is your partner, and most surprisingly explained that “imagining a divorce” is a surefire way to know if your significant other is right for you is or not you.
The email begins: “Love/infatuation is like a drug and wears off after three to four years. When you’re dating someone, ask yourself, ‘Would I want to be both married and divorced with this person?’

Next, the couples specialist encouraged those in relationships or dating to envision a divorce from their partner.
They then added it would be “cool to be divorced” if someone had “strong character.”
Similarly, James Sexton, a divorce attorney in New York, wrote an article for TIME magazine sharing that couples should always “talk about divorce” the moment someone gets on one knee.
He explained that it’s “most romantic” to talk about divorce when you’re wearing the ring on your finger [and] dedicated thing you and your fiancé could do.’
Sexton added that because they have the greatest affection for one another, people should start talking about divorce right after they get engaged, so they can try to resolve any future issues that might arise.
In closing, he emphasized his top three tips when discussing a divorce before you’re even married.

Sexton’s talking points included why you would get a divorce, “how to avoid a divorce,” and what you would “need” from your partner if you did get a divorce.
Similarly, Tinx’s relationship expert explained that you should have breakup conversations early on, as well as conversations about “kids, finances and “where you want to live.”
Next, the unnamed specialist advised all couples to have a “breakup counseling session,” during which they ask each other what “piece of clothing” they would wear in each other’s closets.
To avoid a breakup, the expert noted that couples should spend five minutes reaching out to each other and asking how they could “better support” each other.
The influencer’s relationship expert concluded the email by saying, “When there is a breakup, both people are grieving, some of that grief happens during the relationship for one or both parties.”
Tinx shared the email on her Instagram story and announced that she would be delving deeper into the topic on her podcast It’s Me, Tinx.
The upcoming podcast will answer viewers’ burning relationship questions while also discussing all things intimacy as she touches on her latest podcast, which details how to have “gorgeous sex.”
