“I do.”

Being in a relationship comes with plenty of ups and downs, and over the years, many couples tend to find themselves falling through the cracks – forgetting the very promise that they first took on their wedding day. Most of the time, people do not just simply fall out of love. Instead, problems often build up slowly over time – testing the basic foundations of a relationship. Facts of “unreasonable behaviour”, “infidelity and extramarital affairs”, and “financial problems” are some of the common reasons used by people for filing of their divorce. According to the 2016 Prudential Relationship Index that surveyed more than 5,000 adults aged 25 to 55 in Asia – 24% of married people in Singapore actually thought seriously about leaving their spouse. Given that being in an unhappy marriage can take a huge toll on our physical and emotional well-being – knowing the signs of a troubled marriage can help you decide if the red flags need to be addressed. You Hardly Communicate Anymore. At the start of the relationship, both of you might have plenty of topics to talk about, but somewhere along the way, you begin to realise that you no longer have anything that you want to share with your partner and vice versa. Communication is the most important ingredient in a successful marriage as it allows couples to express their appreciation for each other and show a genuine interest in their partner’s life. Not communicating also means that you probably aren’t hashing problems out when they need to be addressed, which might likely cause more problems down the line. If you are no longer actively engaging and spending quality time together, or can’t seem to take part in meaningful conversations – it may be time to reassess your relationship to set things right. There is Little to No Intimacy. Intimacy plays a vital role when it comes to having a happy marriage, but intimacy does not necessarily have to be sexual intercourse. Physical affection and finding different ways to connect with your partner is just as important, such as having breakfast together or setting date nights to rekindle the passion amidst a hectic schedule. Shoulder massages, spontaneous hugs and giving words of care or encouragement to your spouse can help to build up both emotional and physical intimacy. Not having a sense of intimacy with your partner can quickly stir up feelings of being rejected and unwanted – and maybe a clear sign that you are in an unhappy marriage. Seeking marriage therapy early is vital to saving the marriage. You Would Rather Spend Time With Your Friends Than be at Home With Your Partner. Research often reports that happy marriages are those where couples celebrate each other’s successes as well as negative experiences. Whether you have something big to announce or just received some bad news – wanting to share it with your friends and family instead of your partner can mean that you no longer see your partner as a pillar of support. While spending a little time apart is healthy in a relationship, too much of may spell trouble. If you would rather spend more time at work and are constantly trying to avoid your partner – this could mean there are feelings of dissatisfaction and you may need to dig deeper to find out the underlying reasons.

Everything They Do Irritates You. What was once cute and endearing has now turned into frustration and disgust, where even the smallest things can explode into huge arguments. The little things such as the way they eat or talk might start to become more than just an annoyance, and you might start to feel a sense of resentment towards your partner. When this happens, you might want to analyse why you feel this way and figure out how to resolve these unhealthy thoughts in your marriage. There is Emotional Withdrawal. Emotional withdrawal is a huge sign that there you might be subconsciously thinking about a future – one that does not include your partner. Often, emotional withdrawal happens in an effort to convince yourself that you don’t care anymore so that it is easier when the actual separation occurs. You might notice you or your partner pulling back from the relationship and feeling distant from them despite being in the same room. No one feels heard, and no one listens – and it can be extremely stressful to be in an unhappy marriage that is on the brink of becoming toxic. It is never a good idea to let the cold war prolong indefinitely. You may want to nip the problem in the bud and get marriage therapy to mend your relationship before it is too late. Both of you Have Differing Values, Beliefs, and Goals “Opposites attract” may be what makes a couple want to tie the knot. Unfortunately, different values, backgrounds and lifestyles can quickly become major roadblocks in growing together as a couple. It would be near impossible to find parties in a marriage to have similar values, hobbies, interests, beliefs and family backgrounds. However, studies have shown that couples with similar values, cultural background and lifestyle habits find it easier to understand and live with each another as compared to those who are vastly different. Completely different parenting styles or different ways of spending one’s money may often be the root of many heated quarrels in a relationship. One would probably find it easier to pick up a new hobby or kick a habit than to adopt a partner’s set of beliefs and attitudes towards life. Seeking marriage therapy earlier could help you find new ways to resolve such differences amicably. There’s Criticism, Contempt, Defensiveness, and Stonewalling. Criticism: Attacking and shifting all the blame on your partner by targeting their appearance, personality and character. For example, “You are so stupid, you can’t do anything right.” or “You only care about yourself you are so selfish” and “You are so old and ugly”. Contempt: Disrespecting and disregarding your partner’s feelings and using your ego to rule the relationship. You start to become sarcastic and enforce your superiority on your partner by attacking their self-worth. Defensiveness: Refusing to accept responsibility in a problem and attacking your partner in retaliation. You constantly find excuses to minimize the consequences of your actions. E.g. “It’s all your fault” or “I am always the one doing the work”. Stonewalling: Emotionally shutting down instead of openly addressing issues. Continuing to exhibit these 4 traits often erode a relationship to the point where there is no longer mutual respect for each other. To prevent the marriage from getting to the point of no return, self-reflection and recognising one’s faults may very well be the key to mending the relationship.
