8 Signs That Your Marriage Is Doomed
Marriage is something sacred that bonds two hearts together, for the rest of their lives, till death do they part. It is the start of a journey full of love, with you and your partner walking hand in hand through the obstacles that life decides to present you with. The whole idea of living side by side with your best friend and soulmate makes you look forward to another day in your married life.
However, if this is not how marriage feels like to you, you are not alone. According to an opinion poll by the National Opinion Research Center, only 60 percent of marriages are happy ones and have potential to last for a long time. If you experience any of these 8 signs, your marriage may be heading for the rocks pretty soon.
Do You Think Your Marriage May Be Heading For The Rocks? Check This Signs
#1 You feel lonely
The first sign of a doomed marriage is loneliness. It is possible to have a person physically next to you, yet feel extremely empty and as if you have a void on the inside. The reason you feel such emptiness is the detachment that you’re facing in your relationship. You can no longer connect with your partner on an emotional and spiritual level, which makes you feel like you’re alone, despite having your partner living in the same space as you do.
#2 You hate spending time with your partner
As a result of building issues and problems, you may also feel like you’d like to stay away from your partner as much as possible. You begin to detest encounters with them in your own family home, so much so, that you’d begin to consider getting your own place. This is, again, due to the lack of connection between the two people in a marriage, resulting in zero sparks to ignite the need to spend time with each other.
#3 You can’t seem to resolve issues
You’ll find yourself in numerous quarrels, arguments and in some inflated situations, a full-on physical fight. Even the smallest issues, like who’d finished the milk can end in some serious arguments between the two of you. If you find yourself arguing and having physical altercations more often than the times that you sit down and discuss issues together, you may be better off outside the marriage.
#4 You’re not interested in shared responsibilities anymore
Shared responsibilities become somewhat of a chore for you and you don’t see why you need to be picking up groceries and cooking for someone that you do not have feelings for anymore. Aside from that, you’d also start over-calculating when paying for anything that you’ve purchased or own jointly.
#5 You haven’t spoken to your partner for a long time
You find that silence has taken over your home. You also seem to notice that you give only a single syllable response to your partner’s attempts to communicate with you and at the same time, you feel like you do not have anything left to say to them.
#6 You have no interest in sex
Sex is now totally out of the question. You don’t feel turned on by your partner, like you were when you first got married. It is quite natural for those who don’t feel an emotional connection to their partner to not be aroused by them. This is a clear red flag that your heart is no longer in your marriage.
#7 You’ve been talking to other people
That co-worker who keeps texting you into late hours of the night has been taking up most of your time and attention. And you genuinely enjoy talking to them compared to your partner. This is a sign that is as clear as day that your interest no longer lies in your partner or marriage so, you may want to explore your options with other people and part ways with your partner as amicably as possible.
#8 You have divorce at the back of your mind
Toying with the idea of divorce shows that you no longer have faith in your marriage and its ability to hold you and your partner together. Try not to use kids and other external factors to stay in a loveless marriage, it can only cause more harm than good. And, be sure to compromise, even in divorce.
Those are just some of the signs that your marriage is sinking way faster than the Titanic itself.
