When should you consider a divorce?
If you are thinking about ending your marriage, you need to consciously consider the following issues first:
When your married life is too suffocating and tiring
It is undeniable that married life comes with many worries about food, money, responsibility for children, family, etc. However, you will also get your joy back from family meals, feel husband and wife’s love through loving words and caring actions. When the two of you have enough love and sharing, the problems in life will not become something to worry about.
If your married life is just boring and suffocating, you should think about a divorce decision. We only get married when we believe that our future life will be better, that we will have companions and share all the problems in life together.
True marriage never causes tiredness and suffocation. If you feel tired all the time, your marriage is really in trouble. If the relationship does not improve, divorce is sometimes the best solution. This is true because you can’t waste your life on a marriage that only brings pain, fatigue and frustration.
When both of you have no love and affection for each other
When love is over, both will feel cold, bored and want to end their current relationship. However, instead of frankly saying goodbye, they use actions and words to make other feel hurt and accept to let go first. Every action and word from the other makes one feel uncomfortable. They no longer talk or confide with each other, no longer care about each other’s private affairs, even the smallest or most important things.
When husband and wife no longer look in the same direction
In fact, no couple is a perfect match. They will have similarities and differences. Difference in marriage is not always bad. On the contrary, it can be what attracts each other and helps both of you support each other in life.
However, if the difference is so great that it leads to a long-lasting conflict, you should consider a divorce decision. Basically, it is almost impossible to reconcile two people with two completely different lifestyles, perspectives, and future orientations.
In addition, the difference in financial management ability and future orientations is also very difficult to reconcile. This is why couples should review carefully before deciding to get married. If you’ve tried to reconcile but can’t get along, you should consider getting a divorce so you both have a better chance of finding someone that’s right for you.
When husband or wife has an affair
It can be seen that marriage comes from love from both sides. Both have feelings and love, want to live together, and decide to become a couple. However, when one party no longer has feelings for the other, giving love to the other, it is very difficult to try to hold on or endure to live in harmony. Because the wound in the heart has formed and it is very difficult to heal. On the other hand, when having an affair, husband and wife have also lost their affection for and are unfaithful to the other. So, this is a sign that you should get divorced.
When one party regularly conducts domestic violence
Sometimes in married life, there are times when things do not go well, instead of solving it together, husband uses force to cause both physical and mental injuries to wife. Violence is not a problem one day but not the other, but it has happened frequently at a more dangerous level. So what are you waiting for facing such an abusive husband? This is a sign that you should get divorced.
When marriage affects the development of children
Many couples patiently keep their marriage because they want their children to have both fathers and mothers. However, are children really happy when their parents are constantly arguing, contradicting and even violently acting? In the event that the two appear to be at odds but still remain civilized, you can wait a while for your child to get over sensitive stages such as puberty, preparing for important exams, etc.
However, if the other is an abuser, often insults you and your children, or even engages in destructive, violent behavior, a divorce decision should be made as soon as possible. Because an unsafe environment will affect the development of children. Although there are enough parents, stressful family air also makes it difficult for children to develop healthily.
Studies show that children living in violent families often have low self-esteem, are impatient, and have an inability to control their emotions. When children find their family unhappy, they may also develop hostile and destructive behavior. Therefore, you should get divorced so that your children can be raised in a healthy and safe environment.
Divorce is really a shock to children. Therefore, you should prepare your child psychologically in advance to avoid trauma and mental breakdown. If the child is in puberty, it is advisable to seek the support of a psychologist.
The other has depleted common property and shows no signs of stopping.
You should also think about getting divorced if your spouse is depleting your family’s finances and shows no signs of stopping. In fact, many people face debt and property depletion due to wasteful spending and investment by their spouses.
Some people ask their spouses to provide money to do business, but because of lack of experience, they constantly fail. If your spouse has not changed and continues spending money mindlessly, you should decide to divorce. Because finance is an important factor to build up a warm, happy family and ensure that children are raised in the best manner.
If your spouse is constantly depleting your finances, you could be involved in huge debts. Therefore, it is advisable to end the relationship decisively to avoid long-term consequences. In addition, when your spouse shows signs of dissipating assets, you should strictly manage important documents to keep assets for your children.
When the two parties no longer respect each other
In married life, love is never enough to maintain a relationship. Without respect and understanding, husband and wife relationship will arise many conflicts, and family life becomes suffocating and tiring.
Respect is essential in relationships. Love or not, couples should still respect each other because this is the basic principle.
If your spouse constantly uses heavy, harsh words to demean and humiliate you, please be strong and end the relationship decisively. Heavy and harsh words are the “knife” that kills marriage. If you do not overcome it strongly, you yourself will have to live in a persistent tired and under heavy mood.
Questions you need to answer yourself before deciding to divorce
Marriage will be stopped by divorce proceedings, but its consequences will last forever, even for the rest of the life of both parties. So do not immediately think of a solution to break up when you feel that your marriage is unhappy. Ask yourself and discuss with your spouse the following questions:
What pushed you to decide to divorce?

Or have you and your wife had any disagreements and conflicts that were not resolved in a reasonable way?

Which solutions help children not to be affected?
Children will certainly be affected by the separation of their parents. More or less, it depends on circumstances. Your children will never tell you how they feel, but they are the ones who suffer the most. They will spend their days growing up in the absence of a parent’s love. And the imbalance in the psychological development process is inevitable. Many people agonize over and think about their children a lot when deciding to divorce. Their children are the outcome, the witness and also the ones to suffer the consequences and enforce this divorce judgment of their parents.
