LOL ahem, I think...much of this sounds like my life and I'm still married. Ok, maybe not all that happy all the time.

When your feet drag on your way home. When you cease to give each other joy. When you realize you'd rather be alone!

for me i knew the marriage was ending when I said "let's go to marriage counseling" and he refused. When we could not work through problems on our own, and I saw marriage counseling as a way to work on issues, he said "no way, i'm not going, you can go because you are the one with the problems, there is nothing wrong with me." It takes two people to make a marriage work....if one is not willing then it's pretty much over.
I kind of had the opposite problem: my ex kept telling me to see someone because I was the one with the problem. I'll concede that I was in a crappy place and could have used some help, but she did her part to help me get there and should have done her part to help me get out. It wasn't just me in a crappy place by myself; we were in a crappy place together.

But I really should have known when her sister asked if she could borrow me for sex and, instead of telling her "no" outright, turned to me and asked if that was OK with me. (No, it isn't, even if your sister is hot. *sigh*) That was totally out of character for her, or at the very least, violated the spirit of monogamy that had theretofore been a cornerstone of our relationship.

Oh, golly, I thought what everyone is saying was normal for a marriage. Hmm, sounds like mine! I agree w/ what everyone else here is saying.

OMG i forgot about that, that too!
When I would make comments on something that bothered me, he'd say, "Plenty of women like Linda down the street would be glad to have a man like me around," which pretty effectively derailed the conversation every time.

Hi, I have a friend that was married twenty years and he said he knew is marriage was over when his wife would be reading a book while they where having sex.

What is a bad sign that your marriage is ending?
