In
most cases, a spouse is caught off-guard when the other person
suddenly lays down divorce papers—leading to profound confusion and
the question, “Why didn’t I see this coming?” Taking the status
quo for granted is one big mistake couples make, as the various signs
of a failing marriage tend to be overlooked.
Living
in silence– If
you spend a lot of hours at home, at a party, or some other social
function and you rarely have a meaningful conversation, it’s a sign
of a marital rift. According to marriage expert Elayne Savage, PhD.,
this situation is also known as “uncoupling” or being ultimately
disconnected from each other. This is also evident if one person
tends to spend more time with friends, family, or hobbies rather than
the spouse.
