All marriages have their ups and downs. Just because you’ve been more busy than usual, or you’re going through a stressful time, doesn’t necessarily mean that things are doomed. If you are noticing consistent patterns, however, it might be worth paying attention to. Odds are, if you are sensing that a divorce might be on the horizon, then your spouse is too.
If a divorce is heading your way, you’ll want to prepare for it as soon as possible. Here are 5 warning signs that you might want to start getting ready for a divorce:
Communication Breaks Down
Communication is key to making any kind of relationship work. In a marriage, if communication has broken down between you and your spouse, it cannot mean anything good. If you are making an effort to communicate and improve things, make a note of how your partner is responding. If they aren’t responding at all, it means bad things are on the horizon.
You Are Finding Reasons to Avoid Each Other
If you find yourself searching for reasons not to be around your spouse, that’s a sign that something has permanently shifted between the two of you. Do you sit in your car when you get home from work, not wanting to see them? Do you stay busy to avoid going to bed? Pay attention to that.
No Alone Time Together
Couples tend to be most intimate when they are alone together. If you and your spouse are never alone together anymore, and neither of you are making particular efforts to be, chances are that things aren’t going well. Whether it’s going on a date night or spending a free hour together at home, alone time is how people show each other that they are a priority in their lives.
Stuck On Defense
Do you find yourself with your guard constantly up around your spouse? Does every little thing they say irritate you? Does spending time with them feel like spending time with your parents? If you feel yourself naturally going to that place when they’re around, question what is causing that effect.
Your Instincts Are Against It
Your gut is normally right. If your instincts are telling you that a divorce is coming – or, even worse, your body is telling you to get away from your spouse whenever they are near – there’s probably a good reason for it.
