Divorce is rarely an easy decision, and it’s often difficult to know where the threshold for the end of a marriage lies and when you’ve crossed it. If divorce seems like it is becoming an option, it is important to take a few moment out of your day to decide what that means and how you are going to proceed.
Asking yourself a few basic questions like, “where do I see myself in three years? Divorced or married?”, can help you to make a more thoughtful decision. The bottom line is that if staying married will be more painful than going through a divorce, it’s time to call an attorney.

1. If You Dwell On The Benefits Of A Single Life
Obviously, there are benefits to being married and to being single, but there is a big difference between occasionally wondering if the grass is greener on the other side and obsessing about how much greener you know it would be.
If you are at a point in your relationship where you constantly imagine how your life would be if your spouse left you or was suddenly out of your life, then you might consider thinking about a divorce. No good comes from suffering in silence.
2. If Your Marriage Isn’t Functioning Anymore
No marriage is without its rocky points, but a good marriage should function healthily more often than not. A functioning marriage should bring happiness, comfort and trust for both partners. If you can’t remember the last time you felt that way, the marriage may already be dead.
Oftentimes, it’s difficult to get a clear perspective without stepping out of your own shoes for a moment. The Huffington Post recommends asking yourself how you would feel if your child or a loved one were in a marriage like yours. The answer to a question like that is usually instantaneous: trust your gut.
3. If Your Health Is Suffering
Constant sadness, anger and anxiety are all symptoms of a failing marriage, and if it goes on long enough, those feelings can take a severe toll on your health. If you notice unexplained physical aches and discomforts while spending time with your spouse, then it may be that your body is urging you to get out of a bad situation.
