How do you know when to walk away from a marriage?

There are times you MUST leave—if there is ongoing abuse or if you are in danger of physical harm, you should only consider staying safe. Repeated bouts of addiction, cheating, emotional badgering, and severe financial abuse need to be handled with extreme care as well.

That session was followed by an hour with another couple who didn’t stop arguing from the moment they walked in the door. They had been waiting all week to "tell on the other," i.e., talk about the agreements each had broken and the far-reaching arguments about washing the dishes or sex, all with a plethora of eye-rolling and grimacing. However, the passion between them was palpable; under the power struggle, there was a lot of interest and passion. We worked hard for months, and they were eventually able to break their destructive loop and spend more time living with the pleasure they found in each other. These two stories point to one of the most important truths my 35 years of working with couples has shown me. Though we know many of the qualities and skills that make a great relationship—most of which can be learned—there is no rule book for what makes two people work. Sometimes people just know their relationships are over; other times, even though it’s hard, they are willing to do the work to make it good again. There are times you MUST leave—if there is ongoing abuse or if you are in danger of physical harm, you should only consider staying safe. Repeated bouts of addiction, cheating, emotional badgering, and severe financial abuse need to be handled with extreme care as well. That means finding a safe way to leave is the only sensible possibility. Of course, each of those issues can find resolution, but a partner who is unwilling to change their destructive behavior will only harm you. Outside of these, there are situations in which you just don’t know if you should leave or stay. Here are three things to pay attention to if you are facing the dilemma of working on your marriage or ending it:

What medications can raise PSA?

Official answer Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen. Cholesterol-lowering statins, such as Lipitor (atorvastatin) and Zocor (simvastatin) High blood pressure drugs known as thiazide diuretics. More items... •

Some medications can increase levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in the blood, falsely indicating the presence of prostate cancer.

Medications that may raise PSA levels include:

Betamethasone, a steroid prescribed to reduce inflammation

Testosterone replacement therapy, including Jatenzo, a testosterone capsule for men with certain forms of hypogonadism, a condition that occurs when your sex glands produce little or no sex hormones. Other drugs may lower PSA levels in patients, which may indicate a false-negative result. These include:

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen

Cholesterol-lowering statins, such as Lipitor (atorvastatin) and Zocor (simvastatin)

High blood pressure drugs known as thiazide diuretics

Medications used to treat an enlarged prostate or male pattern baldness, such as Proscar and Propecia (finasteride) and Avodart (dutasteride). Researchers are still looking at how medications affect PSA levels in patients with and without prostate cancer and what this means for screening and PSA testing during cancer treatment.

More on high PSA levels

PSA is considered elevated if it is 4 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL) of blood or higher. About 25% of men who end up having a prostate biopsy because of increased PSA levels are diagnosed with prostate cancer, according to the National Cancer Institute. In addition to certain medications, noncancerous conditions may also cause increases in PSA, including:

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (an enlarged prostate)

Urinary tract infections

Prostatitis (an inflamed prostate gland).

PSA can also be elevated after a prostate biopsy and prostate surgery.
