Are You Unsure if You Should File for Divorce? Read Some of the Signs That It Might Be Time
Posted on: April 20, 2022
Most people marry because they want to spend the rest of their life with their partner. Unfortunately, not every couple succeeds. There’s something to be said for couples who are prepared to struggle to make their relationship work, but many couples find that it’s time to call it quits at some point. Have you arrived at that point? Only you and your husband can tell for sure, but here are six symptoms that it might be time to divorce.
If you decide that it might be time, contact Law Office of Michael L. Fell at (949) 585-9055 for a free, confidential consultation with a family law attorney.
You’ve stopped communicating
You’re probably not surprised to find that most divorced couples report poor communication in the months or years preceding up to their divorce. Couples should ideally work together and communicate when things aren’t going well. If they instead close off or seek out others to talk about their problems, it could be a sign that a divorce is imminent.
You and your partner are no longer intimate
In a marriage, intimacy is crucial. In fact, what is the difference between your marriage and a close friendship if you are not intimate with your spouse? Although most relationships have ups and downs and lulls, if it has been so long since you were last intimate that you have lost track of how long it has been, this is most definitely a poor indicator.
You don’t have faith in each other
You and your spouse should ideally be closest friends who know they can count on each other. Unfortunately, it is all too usual for a couple to lose faith in one another. There are a variety of reasons for this, including cheating, lying, and hiding cash. It is difficult to work on a healthy marriage when two people cannot trust each other, and it may be a good time to seek marriage therapy, if not divorce.
You are constantly angry with each other
A marriage can be easily destroyed by boiling rage and disdain. It could be as easy as resenting your lover or as serious as feeling like you despise them. You might notice that your mood changes as soon as they enter the room. It’s possible that they critique every action or statement you make. If your marriage is full of feelings of hatred and disdain, you may want to consider divorce, regardless of the reasons or how it manifests.
Cheating
Some couples are able to overcome infidelity, but many are not. This can be a deal-breaker for many people, and it can lead to a slew of other issues, such as losing trust in your spouse, being enraged with them, and refusing to be sexual with them.
Abuse
It’s time to take action if your partner is assaulting you or your children. It’s not going to get any easier. You can speak confidentially with us at Law Office of Michael L. Fell about the alternatives accessible to domestic violence victims. Temporary restraining orders, as well as emergency child and spousal support, are examples.
