You Will See These Subtle Signs When A Man Feels Stuck In An Unhappy Marriage
1. When trying to boast, he flaunts his money and his career — but not his wife.
If he barely ever mentions his wife, it’s probably because he’s trying to forget she exists on one level or another. (Or, because he no longer sees her as important.). Men will flaunt and boast about the things they think really make their lives wonderful.
2. He actively avoids hanging out with his kids or is overly angry with them.
Those who regret having kids are pretty easy to read when they’re around their offspring. They often will find ways to “pawn kids off” on in-laws or otherwise just look for sympathy for just existing near them. If he really resents them, he may have a habit of being very angry or even abusive with them.
Moreover, if he resents kids, he likely resents the mom, too.
3. He seems to come up with excuses not to be at home with his wife.
A man who is really unhappy at home will take up longer hours at work or find new reasons to stay away from home. In these situations, it’s often a self-preservation act that shields them from emotional abuse or otherwise negative vibes.
4. He doesn’t have the same spunk, warmth, and joie de vivre he used to have.
When you’re in an unhappy marriage, that spark people tend to have when happy get sucked out. So, if he’s no longer as happy go lucky as he used to be, there may be some trouble in paradise.
5. Everything around him feels repressed.
Do you get the feeling that his persona seems like it’s forced? He wants to say something to you but can’t?
More often than not, this is a sign that his married life is making him miserable and that he doesn’t know how to break free.
6. When around his wife, he’s cold, businesslike, or even downright hateful.
This is generally the biggest indicator that something’s amiss.
And if you’re his wife, you probably may have had an inkling something was wrong already.
