10 Signs Your Wife May Want A Divorce

Unfortunately, more and more husbands are facing divorce. Today, there are more men than ever wondering whether their wives are planning on leaving, or if their marriage is standing on its last leg. Here are 10 of the most common signs your wife may have divorce on her mind.

Sign #1: She’s Spending More Time Away from Home. One of the most obvious signs that your wife be unhappy in your marriage and/or contemplating divorce is her spending substantially more time outside of the house. Whether she says she wants to clear her head, get some alone time, or just be away from you, she’ll start finding excuses to get out of the house. Many women sick of being married will deliberately do everything they can just to be out of the house.

Sign #2: Big Changes in Your S-x Life. Women are deeply emotional beings; there is a very strong connection between her libido and her emotional state. If you’ve noticed a steep decline in your s-x life, your wife is probably feeling an equally steep decline in her feelings for you and the marriage. Stay alert.

Sign #3: She’s Never Interested in Intimacy. Intimacy and s-x are not the same thing. In other words, intimacy is a measure of that deep emotional connection that a husband is supposed to have with his wife in a healthy married relationship. Has your wife stopped sharing her innermost thoughts, feelings and fears with you? Has she stopped telling you and/or showing you she loves you? Would you describe your marriage as intimate? Or, do you think that your intimacy with your wife has started to break away?

Sign #4: She’s Become Very Critical of You. If your wife has divorce on her mind, she may begin justifying it to herself by constantly degrading you. Generally, the more she’s thought about divorce, the more and more bitter she’ll become. One way this is often carried out is that she’ll brush anything good you do for her under the rug, and instead focus on some way you’ve made her life worse. Here’s why your wife is being so hateful: Her frustration with the marriage has built up to a boiling point. She knows that it will be easier to distance herself and confront you about the divorce if she’s mean to you first. In other words, attacking you is her way of taking control.

Sign #5: She’s Always Cold & Distant. Is it a huge struggle to engage your wife in conversation? Does it seem like she’s become nothing more than an empty shell? Has her trademark phrase become “I don’t care”? If your wife seems emotionally empty and refuses to make any effort towards you or your marriage, that’s a good sign she may want a divorce. Or if she doesn’t want it yet, she will soon. Unsurprisingly, it’s tough to save your marriage when the only thing you have to talk to is a brick wall.

Sign #6: She’s Always on Her Computer or iPad. If your wife has been spending a ton of time on the computer lately, it could be because of a number of reasons - some very innocent. But the most common reasons some blind-sided husbands have found are: she's started an online or offline affair, she's learning about divorce, she's reconnected with an old flame or she's tuning out of the marriage. Keep alert. Listen to your instincts.

Sign #7: Fighting Just for the Sake of Fighting. This divorce sign can usually be felt with your base intuition. If we’re honest, fighting constantly can make the best of us dream of a single life, even if we know we’d never actually want it. Maybe frequent fighting doesn’t make you want divorce, but it does make you wonder what your wife’s thinking.

It can be difficult to keep a clear head in the heat of an argument, so reflect on these questions:

1. Can you identify a common theme in your fighting? Anything that seems like a common cause or trigger?

2. Is your wife aggressive or passive aggressive when she fights with you? If she’s aggressive, that means she’s openly attacking you, nagging at you and degrading you. If she’s passive aggressive, that means she’s subtly pushing your buttons, making backhanded remarks, and “putting you into a corner” that make you feel like you have to confront her.

3. How do the fights usually end? Does one of you leave the house? Does it end with tears or reconciliation? Does it end in the bedroom?

4. Is there any time of day or week that your wife seems “ready to fight”?

Perhaps the greatest indicator is: Do your fights with your wife ever go anywhere? What do you think? Does your gut tell you that your wife is fighting for the sake of fighting?

Sign #8: She’s Given Up. Maybe you and your wife have been on the rocks for a while now, but you’ve been working on things and your marital problems have been getting better. At least, you think so. Then your wife gives up. Maybe she’s stopped going to your counseling sessions with you. Maybe she’s no longer interested in going out with you, or maybe even in talking to you period (like in Sign #5). If your wife has given up on your marriage, it’s usually obvious once you take half a second to think about it. In fact, most women will make a point of letting you know that she actively doesn’t care about you or your relationship. Does this describe your wife?

Sign #9: She Says Nothing’s Wrong, But There’s Something She’s Not Saying. If you’ve known your wife for any time at all, you can probably tell when she’s lying. If not, you can at least tell how genuine her answer is. If you ask her what’s wrong and her answer is “Nothing,” listen to your spider sense. Is there something going on that she’s not telling you? Trust your gut. A lot of men lose confidence when their marriage gets to this state, but don’t ever discredit your own intuition.

Sign #10: There Was a Big Change in Your Marriage Recently. Sometimes people react badly to change. That’s just a fact of life. If your marriage has gone through a significant change recently like job loss, new baby, moved to a new location, she got a promotion or new job, these changes could be the catalyst for making your wife think about life without you, which may also explain her change of heart toward you.

If you recognize these signs, it’s up to you and your wife to determine if you want to rekindle the love between you or walk away forever.

Open, honest communication is key. This is not the time to keep silent, hoping things will blow over.

This is small shakes, compared to the debates we have at home between 4 kiddos, me and a hot-tempered, opinionated Naija man.

One time, the next door neighbor called the cops, because she thought we were actually having a physical fight. But we were debating the pros and cons of abortion.
