In the beginning, it’s all hearts and roses and one is so immersed in the romance, he or she forgets that there is much more to it than what meets the eyes. At times, certain relationships are not meant to be, but you still end up being together and go on to marry the person only to realize you married the wrong one. When it comes to married couples, petty fights and disagreements may seem common and extremely normal and this should not be an excuse to leave your partner. However, there may be times when you’re certain that you have married the wrong person but are unsure. So to help you make your decisions wisely, here are 7 signs that will tell you that you married the wrong person.

02/9​You are always sad

“Happily ever after” is something we all crave for, but reality has no place for fairy tales and we must learn to accept the bitter truth. Feeling sad or being unhappy is not unusual, but if you’re married and you can’t seem to find joy in anything, even in your partner, then that’s a sign you should be worried about. What may have seemed like a dream in the beginning, might now be a nightmare you wish to get over with. If that’s that case, you should seek advice from a counselor and try to get to the root of the problem.

03/9​Fights and disagreements are a regular thing now

Do you and your partner argue over everything? And has it become a routine activity? While fights and disagreements are the most common aspects of a relationship, it is surely a cause for concern if it happens on a daily basis. This may even turn ugly at some point and you’ll know when. The more conflicts you have in your marriage, the more likely it is that you and your partner are not compatible.

04/9​You and your spouse have conflicting priorities

Priorities play an important role in determining the stability in your relationship. Especially in a marriage, there are many things that need attention like finances, work goals, or long-term plans. If you and your spouse are not on the same page when it comes to prioritizing your life plans then it might create a dent in your marriage.

05/9​Honesty is a big miss

Honestly is the foundation of any marriage. It determines the transparency in your relationship and maintains the balance between you and your partner. If you are constantly lying to your partner and feel the need to hide big issues that have something to do with money, family and infidelity, then you might want to take a step back and review your marriage.
