If there was no abuse or betrayal, how did you know when it was time for a divorce?

As the title says.

No abuse. No cheating. I'm fed up of his stress and low mood. Inability to communicate. Made to feel like my existence is a hassle for him. Expresses zero interest in me or the goings on in my life. We exist as separate entities. No joy between us. No sex. Every little conversation is hard work/negative. Just so fed up of living like this.

I think you've answered your own question. Relationships can be ended for any reason and it sounds like you have plenty!
Life's too short to be unhappy.

OP may I just ask how it was in the beginning? Has it always been like this? And I’m only asking out of interest, it has nothing to do with your question.
id be filing for divorce as we speak if I were in your shoes .

What age are your kids, what stage are you at I mean?

Why would this person post then disappear? I really relate but have lots of questions and stuff to add. But oh well, will start my own thread instead as this one seems dead.

I knew it was time when the sound of his key in the lock coming home made my stomach 'drop'.

When you look at him and feel nothing positive at all, it's time.

When you don't want to share a room or sofa with him it's time.

When you avoid anything 'physical' like touching hands, a kiss, a hug, sex etc it's time.

When you find yourself wishing the weekend would pass quickly and you're looking forward to working so you can get away from him, it's time.

When you have to 'psych yourself up' to ask the most basic of questions because you know it may 'annoy' him, it's time.

When you avoid telling him anything good at all because he will suck any joy or happiness from anything you say, it's time.

When you feel the need to put on an 'act' in front of your DC or relatives/friends, it's time.

I could go on and on forever really, but you just need to ask yourself 1 question, Do I want to be in the same position in 1 years time?

You now know whether it's 'time' for you...
