What are some signs your marriage is falling apart?
According to Rachel Maclynn, a psychologist and relationship expert, the following are signs your marriage is falling apart:
- You are a shadow of usual self and you have lost your enthusiasm for life. The unhappy marriage is taking its toll on you.
- You are easily annoyed by your spouse, even at the most insignificant things which he/ she does.
- You are not physically aroused when your partner is close to you.
- You prefer to spend time alone or with your friends than with your spouse.
- You no longer praise your spouse. Subconsciously if your partner does not make you happy, you would not want him/ her to be happy.
- You do not feel as confident about yourself. You question your attractiveness. Your partner makes you feel unhappy about yourself.
- You do not look forward to going home after work. You avoid being with your partner and rather spend more time at work.
- You stop planning for trips with your spouse.
- You no longer put in effort to look good when you spend a night out with your spouse. Even if your spouse tells you that you look good, you will be indifferent.
- You belittle your spouse in front of your friends. You do not respect your spouse.
