15 Signs of Impending Divorce

1. No longer in talking terms: When couples are no longer in talking terms for weeks or months it is a sure indication that divorce may soon become the next option.
2. No longer comfortable in the home: If your spouse soon begins to avoid the home or comes home very late and have no more time to talk with the family but to go to bed it means the marriage is nearing breaking point.
3. Fits of anger: When your partner starts to display fits of anger or tantrums for every little provocation then it is a warning sign which you must do something about.
4. If your husband suddenly begins to physically abuse you or if the rate and frequency with which he beats you increases then there is an impending danger.
5. Use of threat: If the use of threatening words or the use of violence goes up it is a danger light. Do something fast to prevent further deterioration of the situation.
6. Negative criticism: When a spouse becomes so negative about the other or when he/she does not see anything good in the other anymore it means divorce is close by the corner.
7. Buck passing: Blaming the next person regularly for every problem that occurs in the relationship is a sign that divorce may not be far in the future.
8. Less intimacy: When the friendship and closeness begin to dwindle and they no longer freely confide in each other there is problem.
9. Less sex: Anything that affects a relationship up to the point of destroying the sex life is sure going to lead to a divorce.
10. Less trust: Loss of trust or consistent suspicion of the other person will soon make the couple to break up as trust is the basic foundation for the healthy existence of any relationship.
11. Constant argument: Constant argument and disagreements is a sign that the couple is incompatible and would soon break up if not corrected.
12. Loneliness/neglect: Neglect of a partner especially the one who usually stays at home (without a job) would soon make him/her become too lonely and consider divorce as a way out of the prison.
13. More comfortable with other people: When a spouse begins to find solace or comfort in the presence of other people than in the presence of his/her partner then the relationship is no longer healthy and may end up in no distant time.
14. Bossy: If a partner starts to show that he is the boss from whom orders must be taken, and that the other has no right to make contributions, he gives room for divorce to be considered.
15. Excessive restriction: Some husbands refuse their wives opportunity to practice their profession or even to make friends with people. This may also easily break up the marriage.

I appreciate what you have said about the signs leading to divorce. I've been there several times. Looking back on each event, it could have been avoided had I done what I knew I should and not just flown off the handle.
