Interestingly, “Counselling Directory,” a website aimed at helping individuals find support through a vast network reported a 544% increase to inquiries surrounding silent divorce between January and February 2023, as compared to the same time period a year earlier. In many cases, the demise of a marriage is easy to pinpoint—whether by the discovery of deceit, physical/verbal altercation, partner declaring he/she/they want a divorce, etc. On the other hand, the signs of silent divorce are typically subtle and may not be confronted if one or both of the partners possess an avoidant personality.
What began as a couple slowly drifting apart could transform into a dynamic whereby each partner is leading a separate life, despite residing within the same household. Although not all of these relationships are destined to fail, it is frequently a sign that actual divorce is on the horizon.
If you are concerned that your spouse may be planning to end the relationship or if you are seeking a divorce, contact the attorneys at Hagan, Weisberg, & Nunn, LLC for a consultation.
