No matter how much we love someone sometimes its time to just move on. Which is how I have been feeling with David. We can’t stop arguing and most of its over Charlie.
I expect one thing and David doesn’t back me up. Or we end up fighting over money and what we need to do. I am to the point that even though I love Charlie and David I want to move on.
I thought I would share a post the LORD sent me which is a sign that it is time to move on but before I give up completely on my marriage I want to try one more time see if we can’t find the love we had for each other.
5 Signs Your Marriage Is Over By Adam Edelstein
You Don’t Communicate
In one study, 53 percent of couples reported that a lack of communication was a core reason for their divorce. In any relationship, communication is crucial to build on a foundation of honesty and trust. When you and your partner won’t address relationship issues or share in each other’s joy, you’ve lost that connection.
If this critical connection is damaged beyond repair, your marriage could be on a slippery slope toward divorce.
You’re Constantly Arguing
Do you consider your partner one of your best friends? Any relationship is much stronger if there is a friendship behind it. If you’re more at ease when your partner is out of the house or far away, you should consider other options.
If you’re constantly arguing, looking for ways to belittle each other, or even completely avoiding each other, your relationship is certainly on the rocks.
You’re Constantly Thinking About Separation
On average, 20 percent of married women and 13 percent of married men, report having thought about leaving their spouse.
The moment you start thinking about leaving your spouse, you’re living in a single mindset. These thoughts are a major sign that it’s time to get serious, or consider a divorce.
There is Infidelity
It may be hard to rebuild trust in your marriage if your partner has cheated on you in the past. Once you have broken your partner’s trust, it is nearly impossible to restore and the psychological damage that infidelity can have on a person can last for years, if not a lifetime.
Your Relationship Lacks Intimacy
Has your relationship lost its intimacy? Do you find your mind wandering, rather than giving your partner the attention they deserve?
Physical affection is a strong predictor of satisfaction, affection and likeability in a relationship. The oxytocin produced during intimacy promotes bonding, reduces stress and can even boost trust in a marriage.
Thank you,
