Preferred term

attachment to former partner  

Definition

  • Even though divorce legally terminates the marital relationship, the process of redefining the relationship between two individuals can be extremely complex. From an attachment perspective, part of this complexity stems from the fact that divorce represents the disruption of one of the most significant relational bonds formed in adulthood.
