Relationship-ending red flags most people miss.
“Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” — Tolstoy
This is very true when it comes to marriage and divorce.
While divorces happen for many different reasons, patterns do emerge.
Some of these patterns clearly broadcast themselves. Other signs sneak in the shadowy backdoor.
Here are 7 subtle signs that you’re headed for a messy divorce.
1) You Take More and More Fantasy Escapes
The increase in escape behaviors is a sure sign of underlying unhappiness and discontentment.
According to Nicole Arzt, a licensed marriage and family therapist:
A big sign is an increase in fantasy or escape behaviors: buying a new car, watching more porn, drinking more, or making new friends. All of these behaviors could indicate moving towards creating a new life without their partner in it.
These types of behaviors may indicate an emotional escape from your partner and a subtle move towards creating a new life without them.
