When it comes to deciding whether or not you want to seek a divorce, one question that therapists and other experts sometimes suggest you ask yourself is what your ultimate goal is and whether divorce is your best option to achieve it. While seeking counseling can help you in answering this question – as well as related questions – there really is no one telltale sign that you should get a divorce; but rather, a number of factors to weigh in this decision.<\/p>\n

Below we discuss some of the red flags that some experts have identified may be associated with a couple heading for divorce:<\/p>\n

While this may seem like a minor issue, it could also be an indication of something more major, such as the beginning of a disjointed relationship and the loss of connection.<\/p>\n

One partner is suffering from addiction and refuses to get help<\/strong><\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t just limited to alcohol, drugs, gambling, etc., but severe mental health issues or anything that could be endangering you or others.<\/p>\n

While a common assumption might be that staying together is best for your children, keep in mind that, for a number of children, their parents staying together – even though they wanted and should\u2019ve gotten divorced – can end up doing more damage because they are sometimes exposed to an unhealthy relationship and behaviors. In addition, research continues to change and evolve concerning whether divorce more significantly impacts kids who have already left home versus very small children under the age of seven, for example.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, if you are staying together only for children you may no longer have a connection with your partner or you may have invested so much of the children that you have neglected the relationship<\/p>\n

You are no longer having any fun together<\/strong><\/p>\n

The absence of fun indicates a certain amount of resentment that can be difficult for couples to get past.<\/p>\n
