2. She’s emotionally cold and distant

One of the most common signs of divorce is when your wife has already closed herself off from the marriage. Is it difficult to engage her in conversation? Does it seem like she has become very emotionally distant?

If your wife has become nothing more than an empty shell over the past few weeks or months, she’s likely preparing herself to ask for a divorce. If she seems emotionally unavailable and refuses to make any efforts towards your marriage, that’s one of the signs of divorce. Maybe she hasn’t considered it yet, but she will soon.

It’s very hard to save your marriage when you feel like you’re talking to a brick wall… but it’s not impossible!
