Relationship Complaints That Signal Divorce
A relationship that is headed for divorce will show signs of multiple challenges and issues. If you notice difficult complaints that are not easy to resolve then your relationship may be in danger of divorce.
These complaints and issues can be signs of an impending divorce:
1. You feel the love is gone in your relationship. One of the most frequent complaints is that love has faded.
It’s normal for relationships to change over time. Your love will also change. It may feel more like an ebb and flow. The first bloom of romance will change into a deeper kind of love. It shouldn’t disappear entirely. A relationship that has lost its love is in danger of separation and divorce.
2. Mutual resentment has reached high levels. Anger and resentment can do immense damage to a relationship. If you both resent each other then it’s a strong sign the marriage is in trouble.
3. You feel criticized all the time. If one partner feels criticized by the other, this can lead to unhealthy coping mechanisms and anger.
In a healthy relationship, you may occasionally criticize each other and argue. However, if the criticisms are constant and feel overwhelming, there’s a bigger issue.
