The Downsized Life Blog

What do you do when you have been downsized? For some people this happens in the work setting. For others it happens in their personal relationships. As you are reading this, you- like most Americans- are likely thinking this is a reference to something happening emotional or psychological to a woman and this certainly can be the case. However, there is a growing incidence of the emotional "downsizing" of men by women. You may have even experienced this yourself or know of someone who has quietly experienced this all too frequent misfortune.



We are going to take some time with this blog to tell you more about how this happens, how often it happens, what can be done when it happens, and - even better yet- what can be done to prevent this from happening.



Bear with us as we are in construction right now and do feel free to contribute your thoughts!
