Is the eye roll the death knell ?

[kitchentileszz]

I’m getting it alot from DH. Lots of sighs and eye rolls. It’s not good is it?

Not good, no.

Let me guess, it happens whenever you ask him to do something household-related, or you ask him not to be an arsehole towards you.

I think it depends on your marriage. DH and I often eye roll at each other or make sarcastic comments but it’s never meant seriously.

Contempt is one of the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse of relationships - a sign that the end is nigh https://www.gottman.com/blog/the-four-horsemen-recognizing-criticism-contempt-defensiveness-and-stonewalling/

This is the kind of stuff men tend to do when they want out - instead of just ending it they change their behaviour so you no longer want to be there and your the one who initiates the end of the relationship (other option - leave for another woman…).

It's not good. But talk about it. It's not necessarily a death knell or if it is maybe taking about it can resuscitate the relationship? If you can't be bothered to talk about it then yes, it probably is the beginning of the end.
