Many of us experience rough patches in marriage or relationships. It can send us running to the marriage help section of the nearest bookstore in trying to figure out if this relationship is doomed forever.
Rather than feeling bad about yourself, sit back and take an honest look at your relationship. Bob Narindra at Lovingyou.com has a list of signs that you may not be able to ‘save my marriage’ in his article How to Know When it’s Over. He states that there are three glaring signs that a relationship is over and no marriage help on the planet can save it.
1. You catch your partner in the act of having an unforgivable affair.
2. Your partner uses physical violence against you.
3. You argue non-stop about everything. You can’t agree on anything.
Note how Narindra states ‘unforgivable affair’ in his first sign. We all have differing levels of what we’ll tolerate when it comes to cheating. You may not feel that finding your partner cheating on you is the absolute end to an affair.
It may depend on who your partner chose instead of you. If you can’t forgive the affair, then you can’t forgive the partner and the relationship is over.
No one, man or woman, should tolerate it when their partner uses physical violence or forcible restraint in a relationship as is shown by the second sign a marriage is over. If this happens once, it’s likely to happen again, so get out.
When you can’t be in the same room with your partner without fighting over something, this is a big sign that your relationship is over. How can you bond and be together if you are always at odds?

Hi,
I am so confused…i am wondering alot about my marriage lately. My husband is working alot lately (genuinely), there was a time when he could take an odd day off but this is rare now. I suggested a short break away recently and he booked it but also booked a mutual friend of ours to come with us? i do like our friend but for me i am not bothered about the wkend away now.. but i will go. I have being trying to explain to my husband recently about how i feel, his long hours, lack of interest in our home, how lonely i feel, and he does seem to understand but still nothing is changing. I think i am scared of pusing it any further because i feel if i do things could really come to ahead and i am not sure if i could cope with all that right now. i know this might sound like a contradiction but at the moment i feel so lonely and isolated.
