Getting a divorce is one of the most difficult decisions someone makes in her life. There is no going back (though some people do try, and it isn’t pretty). There is a massive blow to the ego involved, and a shattering of dreams. When you marry someone, it’s because you believe, 120 percent, that you’ll spend forever with that person. You believe you two can make it through anything, and you believe it so much so that you involve contracts, you drop thousands of dollars on a wedding, and you invite everyone you care about to witness your promise to stay together forever. Getting a divorce means saying, “I was wrong about a very important factor in my life.” That can, of course, be difficult to do. And, if you did choose to marry this person, it’s because, at one point, there was so much good there. It’s hard to believe that two people who once had something great couldn’t get that back. But, sometimes, that’s the case. And, when even your closest friends begin to hint as much, it could really be time. Here are signs your friends think it’s time for a divorce.
