An internet user asked, “What screams ‘we are not going to last long’ for couples?”. The responses below are so on point that we just can’t stress enough!

“The way they speak to each other when they’re not alone.

I noticed this after my divorce and I started dating again because you speak to these new people with a lot of respect and kindness. Then we’d get around married couples and they’d say awful things to each other in nasty snappy tones, and it was jarring.

Fast forward ten years and all those couples I noticed doing that are divorced now.”

Creating Uncomfortable Atmosphere

“A recent personal experience I witnessed.

The entire immediate family of one side of a wedding said it was a bad idea and less than a month into the marriage one of them stayed at their mom’s house for the night because they were fighting.

Also, they got engaged as a result of a failed break-up attempt…”

Controlling Each Other

“Lack of communication.

Discussing every disagreement means screaming over each other, exploding, shutting off Communications and/or running out of the room.

So they won’t be able to resolve anything in a constructive manner.”

“If all disagreements end in arguments. My partner and I disagree about a lot of stuff. But we can talk, discuss, and even sometimes agree with the other person’s side. It’d be weird if you saw eye to eye on 100% of stuff too.”

Contempt Over Your Partner’s Feelings

“I was at a party one time and there was a marriage counselor there that had been working for 20-something years in couples’ counseling. I asked her what the number one sign was that the couple wasn’t going to make it. Without hesitating, she said ‘If one person shows contempt for the other’s feelings, it’s over!’.”

Toxic Methods Of Conflict Resolution

“When they post each other too much. I get the occasional pic together but when you full-on document every little thing it just comes across as wanting to prove your relationship to other people because you’re insecure.”

“I knew a guy who had an ex-wife’s name on his arm. When he got married, he just had it covered up in larger letters with his new wife’s name. It looked terrible.”

When It All Starts With Cheating

“If the relationship started by one of them cheating on their previous partner and then leaving them to be with this new person. I’ve witnessed two of these IRL and both of them ended with, surprise, more cheating.

Like I don’t know why you’d possibly think starting a relationship with someone who you already know isn’t faithful would be a good idea.”
