12 early warning signs your marriage could be headed for the rocks
We all know the tell-tale signs of a marriage in deep trouble. Big arguments, infidelity, separate sleeping arrangements and so on.
But long before those things happen, there are usually little behaviours and feelings which can signal problems in the relationship. Importantly, these problems can usually be rectified if addressed early.
These behaviours include one or both of you:
- Spending most of your spare time with your friends rather than your partner
- Turning to people other than your partner when you need emotional support… or when you have news to share
- Being jealous of other people’s marriages
- Not fighting fair… or not fighting at all
- Rarely agreeing on anything
- Avoiding sex and physical intimacy
- Keeping secrets
- Constantly feeling disappointed by your partner
- Staying in touch with an ex
- Changing how money is managed in the relationship
- Feeling lonely
- Putting other people’s needs or expectations above your partner’s
