General question. When did you realize that your relationship is/was in trouble?

What was the sign that made it clear to you that it was over; as opposed to the signs we all ignore. What was it that made you enough?

When his "friend" kept calling and coming over. That was a clear sign something was up, euphemistically speaking.

I think the biggest signal is when you don't want the person kissing you anymore or otherwise making bodily contact. Also, mystery arguments that start because the one who is no longer wanted was "breathing too loud" or left the cap off the peanut butter...

When he/she moves out, leaves no forwarding address (credit Matt Groening of Simpsons fame).

When the screen door slams. While we'd been more room mates than anything else for a few years, my husband leaving took me by surprise. I figured we'd raise the kids first.

Here are some signs....

When you look forward to the morning and they leave for work and then dread the moment they will get home again.

When you no longer desire to be close to them but rather avoid contact altogether.

When you feel completely and totally emotionally detached from them.

When you no longer want to try to find a solution to the problem, even if that means another argument, but instead you just take a "whatever" attitude.

When you no longer cannot imagine your life without them, but rather you cannot imagine your life with them in it another day.

When you rather be doing anything else, even scrubbing the floors or toilet, than spend time with them.

When every little thing they do, no matter how insignificant, becomes a source of irritation and annoyance for you.

When you stop communicating other than the bare necessity needed.

When he confesses that he kissed your best friend while you were sleeping in the other room, and then tries to blame you for not being "affectionate" enough! Yes, that's what effectively ended my marriage! What a sleaze.

When there is nothing left to say
When there is not emotional closeness left
