The word “divorce” is like the sound of a shot at an execution: there is an understanding that this word will sound sooner or later, and there is tense anticipation, well, when and who will be first. The pre-divorce period takes place in different families according to several scenarios: you can make attempts to put something together and fix it, you can endure and adapt, or you can wait with doom or with a heart dull from pain and disappointment. Some choose not to notice. The human psyche has a huge resource for protection from pain, and then for quite a long time the signs of an approaching divorce are ignored and not noticed. Let's name some signs by which we can assume that a family or couple is moving towards divorce (but just assume!!!).1. Silence at the table. Remember, before you wanted to share everything that happened during the day, talk about conversations with colleagues, share gossip about girlfriends. My husband’s opinion on this or that issue seemed important, and his advice seemed valuable. There’s nothing to talk about right now, and I don’t really want to. Increasingly, tense silence reigns at the table, which is muffled by the TV and/or poking at the mobile phone screen.2. Irritation over trifles. During the period of falling in love, a partner’s shortcomings are perceived as his highlights; one likes to look after him, making his everyday life easier and more beautiful. Now everything makes me angry: scattered socks, an unclosed tube of toothpaste, uncleaned dishes. It’s infuriating how he chews, looks, breathes. And the slightest gesture inappropriately can cause an explosion of negativity and provoke a scandal.3. Silent phone. You are late at work or with a friend in a cafe, but he doesn’t seem to notice. He came late without warning, and she doesn't worry about what might have happened to him. Moreover, when you hear the noise of a key in the lock, you want to sigh, shudder and fall asleep quickly, so as not to meet, so as not to notice the emptiness, silence, indifference. These are small steps that can take a long time to move towards separation. Do you think there are more chance or the Rubicon has been passed?
