What Are Signs a Florida Marriage May Be Over?
If you and your spouse have started to argue constantly, give each other the silent treatment, or have shown other signs that you may have fallen out of love, you may wonder if it is time for divorce. On the other hand, you may also wonder if it worthwhile to try and save your marriage. There are some signs you can look for to determine if your marriage is really over, or if you are just going through a rough patch. Below, one of our Tampa divorce attorneys outlines what these are.
You No Longer Argue
No one wants to argue with their spouse, but disagreements are bound to arise in any marriage. Arguing can actually be good for a marriage, as long as it is done in a healthy manner. Some level of arguments and disagreements can indicate that you and your spouse still care enough about each other and your marriage to try and work things out. If you and your spouse have both become silent, it may mean that neither of you have any fight left in you. In these cases, it may also mean that there is no chance of returning to a happy marriage, either.
All You and Your Spouse Do is Argue
A certain level of arguing is healthy for a marriage, but if all you and your spouse do is argue, that is unhealthy. While you and your spouse do not always have to agree on everything, you also should not constantly live in a state of conflict. If your arguments do not end in a resolution, or you find you are arguing more than you ever have, it may mean it is time for divorce. Or at least seek counseling if the two of you can agree upon it.
You are Experiencing Physical Symptoms
Emotional issues will also result in physical symptoms. This is your body’s way of telling you something is wrong. If you become stressed when you see your spouse, or you feel a knot in your stomach, these are physical signs that divorcing may be better for your physical and emotional health.
You Have Started Overcompensating
When things are bad in people’s lives, they often try to overcompensate. They may overly reassure their family and friends that everything is fine in their marriage, or post about things they no longer feel on social media. If you find that you are trying to convince everyone else that your marriage is not in trouble, you may actually be trying to convince yourself.
You Have Started Planning for Divorce
If you have started thinking about reentering the workforce so you can support yourself after being a homemaker, or you have opened a bank account separate from the one you share with your spouse, you are actively preparing for divorce. You may not have looked at it this way, but it may be time to face facts and accept that divorce may be the best answer for you.
