10 Signs Your Marriage is Not Meant For You
How do you know your marriage isn’t for you?
Sometimes love has silently said farewell to our marriage, but we don’t want to acknowledge it. Below we have listed 10 signs by which you can understand that your marriage is not meant for you.
1. Quarrel and silence are clear signs
Ending a marriage requires an awfully tough decision that hardly anybody will find stress-free. Several women and men are so scared of being lonely that they would rather endure a marriage that has become loveless than draw a line.
Loveless marriages, in particular, can be extremely damaging to us substantially and emotionally.
Read this if you think you may need marriage counseling.
2. You are only concerned with other people’s problems
Women tend to always take care of everything and everyone, just not themselves.
This leads to the fact that their own needs are completely forgotten; the woman becomes more and more unhappy. But instead of admitting this, and trying to change something in this situation, many women prefer to throw themselves into even more activism.
So if you try more and more to solve problems from the people around you, if you have to deal with something all the time – then maybe it is an urgent time to take the time to think about how you are doing and what you lack.
3. You consciously ignore your gut feeling
Our gut feeling speaks to us in a low voice, so softly that it is easy to ignore this voice. We then drown them out with loud, hectic thoughts. “I should, I can, I have to…” then screams our sensible head, while our stomach whispers: “When was the last time you thought of yourself?
If you are honest, you feel completely empty and burned out, don’t you? You haven’t been happy for a while… Our gut and heart voice often tell us truths that our reason doesn’t want to hear.
But if we dare to listen to this quiet voice, it can show us the way to a life that we really find fulfilling and beautiful.
4. You dream of a life without your spouse
If you often imagine what life could be like without your husband, it is a very serious sign that your marriage is not going well.
The subconscious prepares for possible separation. The expected separation pain is alleviated by playing through all possible consequences. If you have such single fantasies, then subject them to the reality check: Click your way through real estate offers and observe exactly which feelings these triggers in you.
If it’s joy and relief, it really is time to say goodbye to this relationship. But make sure for yourself that you have done everything you can to save this relationship.
If there is one thing people regret after a breakup, it is that they may not have done enough to save that love.
5. You stopped fighting
You and your husband fight a lot, but lately, you’ve been tired of fighting to get along better.
Instead of solutions, there is only silence.
Once love is buried in anger and misunderstanding, it is very difficult to expose it again. This requires openness and unbiased discussions. If you manage to overcome your conflicts, it can make your love more intense. If you fail, all the strife will destroy your love.
6. The distance keeps getting bigger
You have had marital problems for a long time. When you think about your spouse, you only feel sadness and a great distance.
This is not a condition that anyone should live with. If you haven’t found a way to get back together for more than a year, seek professional help. Many couples wait up to six years before they admit that it is no longer possible – by then, the point at which a turnaround would still be possible has often long passed.
7. You’re just sarcastic
You may not always make yourself aware of it, but most of the time, you speak very sarcastically, critically, and negatively with your partner. When you are so far that you can no longer communicate in a friendly and positive way, you are on the express highway towards separation.
8. You don’t listen to each other anymore
You and your spouse are still talking to each other. But you yourself no longer have the feeling that your husband is really listening when you talk about your wishes and needs.
And if you’re honest, you don’t really feel like hearing what your husband wants.
When you’ve lost interest in each other so much, there’s really little chance of returning to a loving marriage.
9. Lack of meaningful and overt communication
Like closeness and spending quality time together. Expressive, as well as exposed communication, is also the basis of a concrete and joyful marriage.
Why? As communication includes conveying your wishes, requirements, gratitude, and understanding. And when all that is not present, all that remains is quietness and disregarding each other and the interchange of a number of worthless words, only for the essential communication.
So, if you don’t recollect when you last observed each other intensely in the eye as well as held a period of expressive and open conversation, then you have a problematic situation.
When was the last time you organized a date night to relax together and remind yourself how much you mean to each other? If you can’t remember this, the chances are that the marriage is not meant for you.
10. You suspect your partner is cheating
The main reason your partner suspects cheating is because of a lack of trust, connection, and communication. But honestly, most of the time, our suspicions are based on our hunch, and if there’s one thing we have learned, it’s that your hunch is never wrong.
But we’ll focus on the suspicion here instead of collecting evidence of infidelity and things like that. So if you are convinced that your partner is seeing someone behind your back, it is because of their behavior, and your unhappy marriage made it happen.
You know something is seriously wrong if you just worry about their actions and words. You know your marriage needs to be saved when you trust a stranger more than your own husband.
What are the tell tale signs that your marriage is not meant for you? Arguments, dreaming of a life without your spouse, growing distance and limited communication are signs that you are in an unhappy marriage.
