Emotional distance, the first warning
In marriage, communication is the bond that holds trust and love. When the husband begins to stay silent, less talking about work or the future, it can be a sign that the relationship is broken. When a partner stops sharing, often talking about themselves rather than us, says Dr. Sheri Meyers, a marriage therapist in Los Angeles.
Another manifestation is that your husband suddenly becomes "unusually busy", often coming home early and late, making excuses for late meetings or work without a clear explanation. According to verywell Mind, avoiding time with family is one of the common signs of emotional change.
Behavior and technology say many things
In addition to emotions, the change in behavior is also noteworthy. The husband, who was always open, suddenly kept his phone unused, set a new password, or deleted the call history and messages, all of which were strange signals. The article on verywell Mind commented: "The more a person tries to hide their personal device, the higher the likelihood they are covering up something."
Not only that, if he suddenly takes care of his appearance, changes his hairstyle, buys new clothes, uses strange perfume without reason for work or friend, this is also a common manifestation in people looking for attention from others. According to Psychology Today Magazine: Change in appearance accompanied by emotional distance is a typical sign of an affair in the early stages.
When in doubt, choose dialogue instead of being silent
Suspicion does not mean crime. state your worries, says Dr. Meyers, state your worries. Start with gentle statements like Were worried about... or Can we talk about this? A calm attitude paves the way for honesty".
If after the conversation, your husband still avoids, denies or does not change his behavior, you should seek support from a marriage counselor. Because keeping quiet or enduring long-term doubts only hurts the relationship.
Finally, trust is the foundation of all marriages. When you feel you are no longer a priority in your partner's heart, don't consider it da nghiatic, it is a warning that you need action, to protect yourself and the future of the relationship.
