Texas couples thinking of divorce should look for the signs

January 21, 2014 By Crouch Group

Making the decision to end a marriage is difficult.  Whether the marriage is new or has been ongoing for a decade or more, choosing to file for divorce can be a hard decision to make.  There are signs that a Texas couple can look for to determine if they are already on the track to ending the marriage and beginning a new life as a happy single person.

Experiencing problems is something that almost every married couple goes through.  Sometimes those problems do not get dealt with, and eventually resentment could set in.  The marriages where the bad moments start to completely outweigh the good moments are the ones that usually end in divorce.  There is no reason why either spouse should be subjected to being resented or resenting their partner in order to continue a marriage that is not working.

Another sign to look for is when a spouse begins to fantasize about being single.  This is almost a dead giveaway that a divorce could be in the future.  Fantasizing about being single could be a result of a lack of intimacy or affection from the other spouse.  The feelings of rejection from a spouse could really mess with a person’s self-esteem and could push them away.

No one should have to feel that they need to stay in a marriage if they are unhappy.  When trying to decide whether a divorce would be the best thing for a married couple in Texas, one or both of the spouses should honestly evaluate their feelings and the way they feel about being in their marriage.  Once the decision to file for divorce has been made, getting the assistance from someone who is experienced in the matter could make the process less stressful, easier to get through and quicker to get over with.
