There are certain signs you need to
to take note of to note if your wife
has become fed up with you or not.
These are some of them. In any marriage or long-term
relationship, you have to stay present.
Unfortunately, far too many men take
their partner’s satisfaction in the
relationship for granted, said Sharon
Gilchrest O’Neill, a marriage and family therapist and the author of A Short Guide
to a Happy Marriage: The Essentials for
Long-Lasting Togetherness. “Many men don’t notice when their
wives have disengaged,” she said.
“Some wives wait to see if their
spouses will care and notice the telling
behavior.
Husbands clearly need to take the initiative and engage.” Below, Gilchrest
O’Neill and other marriage therapists
share some of the most revealing signs
that wives have emotionally checked out
of their marriages. Marriage … 1. She seems to have changed over
night Marriage therapist Becky Whetstone said
that husbands often come into her Little
Rock, Arkansas office and tell her that
their wives’ demeanor has changed,
seemingly overnight. All too often, they
haven’t picked up on tell-tale indicators that their wives are fed up. “While trying to improve the marriage,
she may have made requests of him that
have been ignored, waved and danced
around,” Whetstone said. “In most
cases, the wife has reached a point
where she has decided to turn her back on the marriage due to frustration and
disillusionment with her husband.” ‘I dont want to talk about it’ becomes
a common refrain When your wife is unavailable or
unwilling to have a real conversation
about the state of your marriage, it may
be a sign that she’s reached a breaking
point, said R. Scott Gornto, a marriage
therapist in Plano, Texas. “Your partner has likely become
emotionally numb,” he said. “When
people have the energy to argue and
discuss things, even through conflict, the
relationship still has life.” Marriage therapy could change the
dynamic in your relationship for the
better ― and if your wife is unwilling
to go, it may even if be beneficial to go
therapy alone, Gornto said. “It might help you see what steps you
need to take,” he said. 2. You barely touch anymore When you’re in love, you feel
compelled to reach out and touch your
partner, even if it’s just quick squeeze
of each other’s hands while you’re
walking down the street. Touch in itself
helps release oxytocin, a hormone that helps us feel bonded and connected. A lack of physical intimacy ― inside
and outside the bedroom ― suggests
something might be amiss in your
marriage, said Isiah Mckimmie, a couples
therapist and sexologist in Melbourne,
Australia. “The avoidance of physical intimacy can
extend beyond sexual intimacy to all
forms of physical touch,” she said.
“But touch is a way we signal love and
connection to someone.” To address this, McKimmie suggests
having an open conversation with your
wife about what she’s experiencing. “Be willing to talk about underlying
challenges. Don’t just pressure her for
more physical connection, this is likely to
have a detrimental effect,” she said. 3. It feels like you’re living
parallel lives While it’s healthy to have a life outside
of the marriage, if lately it feels as
though you’re living completely
distinct, separate lives, it should be a red
flag. If your wife continuously chooses
her friends and hobbies over spending time with you, tell her it hurts, Gilchrest
O’Neill said. “As much as we should all have our
individual interests separate from the
things we do with our spouse, when a
partner is not allowed in at all, not even
minimally, something is wrong,” she
said. “You need to show your interest and tell her that it’s not good for the
relationship to be left out completely.” 4. All you talk about is the kids and
household logistics Of course, your kids should be a priority
in your relationship ― so should
keeping your household running like a
well-oiled machine. But if your
daughter’s soccer match is the only
thing you have to talk about when the two of you are alone, it’s time to
refocus on the bond you share outside
your kids, McKimmie said. “Ask yourselves: When was the last
time we sat down and had a conversation
about life, emotions and just how our
days were going?” she said. “If
you’re not connecting anymore, let
your partner know how much you value them and set aside time to spend
together as partners, not just as parents.
Make an effort to bring the romance and
connection back.” 5. She makes casual, snide remarks
at your expense When you care for someone, you’re
careful with your words: Sure, it may
drive your wife up the wall that you
leave beard stubble in the sink after
shaving, but her request for you to clean
up after yourself shouldn’t be an attack. If your wife jumps at the chance
to call you out for your mistakes ― or
makes frequent casual, condescending
remarks at your expense ― your
marriage may be in trouble, Whetstone
said. “It’s a red flag if your spouse speaks
brutal truths,” Whetstone said.
“Maybe she used to treat you with
kindness and consideration but now she
doesn’t bother editing herself with you
and around others.” Whetstone said this is distancing behavior
and signals “a loss of hope for the
relationship [your wife] has with you.” She added: “If your spouse starts
distancing and disconnecting from your
relationship, you had better wake up and
hear what she’s trying to tell you
before it’s too late.”
