So what went wrong?
Unfortunately, not all relationships withstand the age of time. People grow apart; love is lost on one or both sides. When it comes to your relationship, it is important to see the signs that love is gone.
Staying married when not in love is not a way anybody wants to live. And you shouldn't have to either.
Here are some signs you might be living in a loveless marriage:
1. No more making love; just sex
When intimate time feels more like a routine than an exciting experience, that could be a sign you are just having sex.
If you cannot remember the last time you and your other half made love, you might not be far from a loveless marriage
2. You don't hear the 3 magic words:
If you used to tell each other "I love you", and now you cannot remember the last time you heard or said those words, that could be a sign that your relationship is already downhill.
3. Your conversations are shallow
If you notice that your conversations with your other half are not about anything meaningful, that is not good. It is important that we have deep talks with the person we are in a relationship with.
This is a way to connect and grow together. So if your conversations are not deep anymore, that could be a warning sign you are living in a loveless marriage.
4. You stop talking about future plans
When we first get into relationships, we set relationship goals. These are things we look forward to together, as a couple (family, career, vacations, etc).
5. No more affection or awkward affection
If giving your spouse a hug or touching them in a sensual manner feels awkward or uncomfortable, that is a sign that the expression of love is not coming naturally anymore.
Especially if you used to show it before. In marriage, signs of affection are very important as it a way to connect with our partners.
6. Don't want to spend time with each other
If you or your spouse don't put in the effort to spend time with each other, that could be a sign that you both are living in a loveless marriage.
As life partners, we should want to spend time with them and have experiences together. If not, what is the point of being in a relationship?
7. You feel unhappy in your marriage
Self-reflection is extremely important at all times in the relationship. if you are noticing that you are in an unhappy relationship, it is important to do something about it.
Nobody wants to live unhappily. Staying married when not in love only makes the situation worse.

Or maybe you internally decided that it is over. Divorce is hard and painful. This is not something you ever thought would happen.
But living in a loveless marriage is also painful and something that you and your spouse do not deserve. Life is too short to be in an unhappy relationship.
Sometimes separating is the right choice to make, and it is important to figure out what is right for you.
Whatever you do, it's time to figure out the next steps. The worst choice you can make is to not do anything at all and continue to stay unhappy.
