Divorce is usually caused by more than one problem built up over a period of time.
Fortunately, contrary to what many people may believe, you have a lot of power in restoring your marriage, even if your partner is not making any effort to do so.
Sometimes, all you need to do is to stop what you should not be doing and to change the way you react to certain situations.
Are you making any of these mistakes? 1) Abuse Abuse can be both physical and emotional.
Contrary to what many people may believe, men can also be physically abused by women.
Here are some questions you might want to ask yourself.
However, we will not talk about physical abuse here.
Rather, we will be talking about emotional abuse.
While you can't kill instantly with emotional abuse, it can be equally painful for the one being abused.
Are you the abuser? Is so, what is your reason of doing that? Perhaps, you think your partner does not dare to protest.
However, finally, he/she had enough.
And because of that, you started realizing your mistake.
You wanted to make up.
Can you changed for the better? Actions speak louder than words.
You will need to show with action that you will no longer do that anymore.
2) Stress Are you venting your stress at work on your partner? It is important to realize that doing so will only cause you more stress.
A harmonious and supportive family will usually go a long way to help you cope with the stress at work.
If you have been doing that for quite some time, it may be time to change.
You should also apologize for what you have been doing.
3) Pessimistic Do you always look at the negatives instead of the positive? Attitude is contagious, whether it is optimism or pessimism.
It is often a normal reaction that we want to avoid negative people.
If this has become a habit, it is normal that your partner will want to avoid you.
Perhaps, it is time for you to change.
