carrots Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 off the top of my head, no longer telling each other that you love each other anymore. continuous and bitter arguments that are never resolved. avoiding each other. Link to comment
Honore Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Never been married, but from what someone who's going through a divorce recently told me "it's when you can't stand even the best bone in their body" Link to comment
D_Lish Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Constant arguments that are never resolved... Both of you doing your 'own' thing - there is no 'together' time anymore... Anything and everything they do, annoys you. Link to comment
HurtingGuy Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Continuously waiting for that "something" that's going to spark everything back to life and make it perfect again. Feeling like it's there's a constant waiting for this ... "change" that will happen, be it an event or just something that happens, and once it does, things will be good and normal like they used to be. If you're waiting for something like this is may not come. It may be long gone already. Link to comment
coldplay. Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Distance, irratice behavior. Dramatic changes, haircuts (on a girl), anything out of the ordinary. Link to comment
orangesoda Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 no more 'together' time + lack of casual intimacy (hugs, cuddling, brief kisses) Link to comment
lavenderdove Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 1. Avoidance of emotional or physical intimacy... a growing feeling of 'distance' between you. 2. Whatever the person does, it irritates you (or each other). Little innocuous things bother you, and things about the person that used to bother you a little now disgust you or drive you crazy. (A lack of tolerance for anything the person does that irritates you.) 3. Your primary feelings about the relationship is exhaustion or ennui... you don't even want to talk about problems anymore, just avoid the person and get away from them as much as possible.

Circe Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Off the top of your head, what would you say are the top 2 or 3 signs that the marriage/long term relationship is not working any more? This is not off the top of my head, but straight from the lips of the psychologist I talked to during my engagement: 1. Lack of respect/admiration for your partner; & 2. Fighting in a certain way. I.e. name calling, attacking for issues that have nothing to do with the issue at hand.. e.g. "this is just like when you did X" or "you're an idiot". Makes a lot of sense. Link to comment
