Marriage is serious business and for most people, a great deal of thinking goes into making that all-important decision to walk down the aisle, to look lovingly into your partner’s eyes and to say “I do.”<\/span><\/p>\n But, suppose things start going south or you wake up one morning and start wondering about your partner. You ask, “Did I marry the wrong person?”<\/span><\/p>\n Little things may have been adding up. Small doubts about the marriage itself begin crossing your mind, and questions like these start surfacing more often than not.<\/span><\/p>\n Counselor Kimberly Smith<\/a> further adds,<\/p>\n Are there tell-tale signs you married the wrong person? What can you do to prevent this from happening to you? And when you marry the wrong person, what can you do—what are the options for righting that situation?<\/span><\/p>\n Of course everybody will have their own personal individual <\/span>signs of being in love<\/span><\/a> with the wrong person, but nevertheless the following list and examples can be very useful in recognizing signs you married the wrong person.<\/span><\/p>\n In the past, little differences were not noticed or ignored but now <\/span>bickering seems to be happening more frequently<\/b>. “We never ever used to bicker,” Alana Jones, a 26-year old account executive, emphasized. “But now it seems like teeny tiny details like what year “Breaking Bad” premiered–can start us bickering. <\/span><\/p>\n This is beginning to add up and make me feel that the person I married is turning into somebody I don’t really know.” Arguing is inevitable, but <\/span>happy couples know how to argue<\/span><\/a> differently in a way that does not chip away at marital happiness.<\/span><\/p>\n The things that add texture to your day such as the funny bumper sticker you saw on the way to work or the news that a colleague was having triplets. “I used to love coming home at the end of the work day and telling Stephanie what the offerings were that day in the company cafeteria. But now she doesn’t seem the least bit interested so I’ve stopped,” said Glenn Eaton, a software engineer in Silicon Valley. <\/span><\/p>\n He continued, “I always kind of got a kick out of it when she quizzed me as to how the chicken lunch offering was prepared and what the dessert selection was like. I miss the old Stephanie and am wondering if this is the sign of something bigger.”<\/span><\/p>\n “I have to admit that I have thought about how different my married life might be if I had married Dalton, my very first boyfriend,” Alexis Armstrong-Glico, admitted. <\/span><\/p>\n She continued,” I have already found him on Facebook and have surreptitiously followed him online for a while now. Seeing how exciting his life is–he commutes between San Francisco, London, Zurich and Tokyo, and comparing it to my husband’s commute from our suburb to Tulsa, really makes me wonder if <\/span>I ever should have broken up with him<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n What would my life have been like? <\/span><\/p>\n Angel, my husband, does not even like to go to the neighboring county to see if anything is different in the shopping mall there than the one here,” Alexis sighed.<\/span><\/p>\n “I can’t believe that we now scream at each other <\/span>when we disagree or fight about something<\/span><\/a>”, revealed Alan Russelmano. “Carrie had never even raised her voice until six months ago. <\/span><\/p>\n This sets me off and I find myself yelling back at her <\/span>when we get into a disagreement<\/span><\/a>. I’m beginning to wonder about the marriage,” Alan intoned. “I mean, I shouldn’t be doing this and neither should she.”<\/span><\/p>\n “I just never want to go to another baseball game with Marc,” Winny Kane stated. She continued, “I mean they are so boring. And I can barely find any enthusiasm to become a couch potato during football season. I’m starting to run out of excuses…”, Winny added. <\/span><\/p>\n Also watch:<\/b>\n\n\n
