Not engaging in conversation

“Communication is key to any healthy relationship,” says O’Donnell. When that communication stops and you’re spending more time on your phone than talking to your other half, it can often spell the end of your marriage.

Reduced affection and less interest in sex

If you and your partner are sleeping in separate beds, then you could be heading for trouble. “A breakdown in physical contact is often indicative of an emotional separation that could lead to divorce,” adds O’Donnell.

Not wanting to make plans for the future

Are you wanting to plan a holiday but your other half isn’t too keen? Or struggling to even start a conversation about children? “It is often a sign that they see a future on their own,” states O’Donnell. In other words, not a good sign.

Feeling like you can’t stand even being in the same room as your partner anymore? Then you have a problem. Experts say that when arguments become a regular occurrence in your relationship, it can end up exhausting both people, leading to the end of your marriage pretty quickly.
