Being in a relationship has its ups and downs. Sometimes, things get tricky, and we might not even notice when they’re starting to go wrong. One big change that can happen is when one person starts thinking about getting a divorce. But before it gets to that point, there are some small signs that might show up.
In this article, we’ll talk about seven little signs that your partner might be thinking about divorce. Knowing these signs could help you talk about what’s going on and maybe fix things before they get worse.
1. You’re Constantly Feeling Distant
One subtle sign your partner may want a divorce is when you notice a growing emotional distance between you. Maybe they seem preoccupied or disinterested in spending time with you, and conversations feel forced or shallow. Pay attention to these shifts in energy and communication patterns.
2. Your Partner Avoids Conflict Resolution
If your partner consistently dodges discussions about important issues or seems unwilling to resolve conflicts, it could indicate deeper relationship problems. Ignoring problems won’t make them disappear, and if your partner avoids addressing issues altogether, they may be mentally preparing for a separation.
3. You’re No Longer Their Confidant
Have you noticed a decrease in your partner’s openness with you? If they’re no longer sharing their thoughts, feelings, or daily experiences with you like they used to, it could be a sign that they’re emotionally detaching in preparation for a divorce. Pay attention to any sudden secrecy or withdrawal.
4. Your Future Plans Don’t Include Each Other
When your partner starts making plans for the future that don’t involve you, it’s a clear indication that they’re mentally checking out of the relationship. Whether it’s discussing career goals, travel aspirations, or even small weekend plans, pay attention to whether they include you in their vision of the future.
5. Your Intimacy Fades
Intimacy goes beyond just physical affection – it includes emotional closeness and connection as well. If you notice a decline in intimacy, such as a lack of affection, decreased sexual activity, or even a reluctance to engage in meaningful conversations, it could be a sign that your partner is emotionally preparing for a divorce.
6. Your Partner Exhibits Unusual Behavior Changes
Keep an eye out for any significant shifts in your partner’s behavior or routine. This could include sudden changes in their habits, interests, or priorities. If they start spending more time away from home without a valid explanation or show a newfound interest in solo activities, it may signal a desire for independence and separation.
7. Your Gut Instinct Tells You Something’s Wrong
Trust your intuition. If deep down, you feel like something isn’t right in your relationship, it’s essential to acknowledge and explore those feelings. Sometimes, your subconscious mind can pick up on subtle cues and signals that your conscious mind may overlook. Don’t ignore your instincts if they’re telling you that your partner may be considering a divorce.

My partner is very moody I don’t know if it’s innate in her or the moods are because of surface reasons. But it’s very hard to know when they get in this moods, and if she is just feeling indifferent about things in in our lives. I always suspect that something’s coming up and I’m on guard because in the past her moves had led to a breakup she has broke up with me seven times during a four and a half year time span. And it’s time that she broke up they were over Such trivial reasons that I I was caught off guard because I didn’t suspect or didn’t even know the reason is that she had were even valid for the breakup. I think that was an excuse to do whatever she was doing which I never knew. She would come back and talk to me after the breakup because I was in love with her and sent her tons of messages trying to get back together. She always came back I guess when she felt she completed her mission that she was on. She had always blocked ghosted and ignored me each time I sent messages to her but I never knew if she was getting them or reading them because she had blocked me. I’m sure I should not have tried so hard to get her back because after so many times she knew she could do this and I would take her back. I suspected that she was talking or cheating on me to men. There’s only one that I was definitely new she cheated so I assumed the other times that she blocked me she was doing the same. She admit it of cheating on me because I saw her with a man so she could not deny it after the block the next day is when I saw her intentions. This is why I always felt when she blocked me it was for her infidelity. But she has told me that she had never been with any other man besides me. I don’t know whether to believe her because of the one time I saw her intentions at that time. Should I assume that she cheated all the other times or is it just my imagination. I love her but I don’t know whether to trust her because every time she does something I question it and she gets mad she doesn’t like what I do that. I told her I’m an overthinker I can’t help myself I may not know at the time but she’s doing but I do a lot of things to investigate her actions. She met a man that she gets high with smokes marijuana. She says he’s just a friend and married with kids and it’s just friendship. I didn’t know until 4 months later that she was doing this. I told her that this one snuck by so go be friends and do what you want to do with him but if I find out that you have any more men friends for any reason whether social media or someone she’s met in the street that I would leave because I’m not happy for having other men friends for any reason. Especially when she doesn’t tell me until later. Or has men’s numbers and not tell me. And I told her even if she does tell me I would say no because I’m not putting up with any more of her reasons of having men friends because of the infidelity I knew of before. That’s pretty much everything in a nutshell what do you think.
