10 Signs You Are Settling For a Miserable Marriage

These crumbs of love aren't enough, and you or your partner constantly feels as if something is missing . . . as if either one of you has to beg for affection and love.

The two of you threaten divorce and then make up more times than either of you can count. It's more dramatic than a soap opera!

If you're really wondering if your marriage is normal . . . well, perhaps it's not! If you spend a lot of time comparing your marriage to others, not only is that a bad habit to get into and destructive, but it may also be because you're so unhappy and don't understand why.

If the two of you aren't spending any time together and your existences run parallel, your marriage is most likely miserable.

Whether it's literally waiting for your spouse to show up or metaphorically waiting on your partner hand and foot, you're not in a happy marriage.

You and your spouse rarely have sex. So rarely, in fact, that you are starting to feel very lonely. And unwanted.

You have a million regrets about your marriage. Instead of thinking about real-life strategies to make it better at this point, you just wish it were different, but you know it's not. You know deep inside that you are unhappily married.

You live for alone time. You envision the future without your spouse but never say this to him or her. You feel single, even though you certainly aren't.

Your friends and family hate seeing you this way. They notice how unhappy you are. People hate seeing you settle. Even you start to acknowledge your depressive state about your marriage, but you feel trapped and hopeless.
