At the Land Legal Group, our divorce attorneys in Los Angeles, California understand that marriage is not always forever. And sometimes, saying goodbye may be the best thing for everyone involved.
We also know that divorce is a deeply personal decision that can be made for many reasons; none of which apply to every marriage.
However, when the relationship starts to break down, it often does so irreparably in many ways.
To follow is a short list of common issues married couples have that are signs it may be time to get help from a divorce attorney in Los Angeles or marriage counseling professional or decide to part ways.
Sign #1: Problems Communicating
One of the leading causes of divorce in the U.S. is the lack of communication.
When one spouse does not feel as though he or she is being heard and supported — whether they are talking about a small daily detail or a life-changing topic — the communication breakdown takes on a life of its own.
If you cannot have a conversation without it turning into a fight, it may be a sign that it is time for a divorce.
Sign #2: Lacking Intimacy
Intimacy is one of the driving forces behind a healthy marriage.
Although there are physical and emotional intimacy lulls in every relationship, if you cannot remember the last time you were intimate with your spouse, it is time to try and get things back on track.
If you are seemingly living with a roommate, instead of a spouse, it may be a sign that it is time for a divorce.
Sign #3: You Have Contempt for Your Spouse
The moment you decide your spouse is no longer an equal — either because you resent him or her or prefer to criticize their every move over enjoying the time you spend with them — and your mood changes from positive to negative when he or she is around, these feelings of anger, bitterness, or toxicity may be a sign that it is time for a divorce.
Sign #4: Lack of Trust and/or Cheating
The lack of trust in a marriage can come in many forms. Disrespectful behavior, lying, and infidelity top the list, and can often be signs that it is time for divorce when you have trouble believing the things your spouse tells you.
Sign #5: You No Longer Care About Your Marriage
If you no longer care about your relationship and have already given up, it may be a sign that it is time for a divorce. With and without marriage counseling, some couples simply check out of the relationship for good, often long before the topic of divorce is even mentioned.
