Should I Leave My Husband? 12-Question Quiz

Most people do not ask "should I leave my husband" after one fight. The question builds slowly, and it usually rests on a few things. Repair: when something goes wrong, does he come back to it, or does it get buried? Respect: even angry, does he speak to you like someone he values? Trust: has it broken, and has it come back? Connection: is there still affection, or do you live like roommates? And the future: does picturing it bring hope or dread? The quiz scores those things, plus how long the feeling has lasted and what keeps you in the marriage now.

The signs that weigh most are lasting ones. You have told him clearly how unhappy you are and nothing changed. Contempt, mocking or insults have become normal. Trust broke more than once. Affection is gone and you do not want it back. You feel relief when he leaves the house. You have shrunk to keep the peace. None of these alone decides it, and many marriages recover from some of them. Together, and for a long time, they usually mean the marriage is not meeting either of you.

The doubt is recent, or it comes and goes with stressful seasons. He listens when you raise something, even if he gets defensive first. There is still respect and some warmth. When you imagine life without him, what you feel first is loss, not relief. Those are signs of a marriage under strain, and strain can often be worked with, especially with a counselor and two people willing to try.

Leaving does not always mean divorcing right away. Some couples separate first, to get space and see clearly. Others divorce after a long time of trying. If you are wondering whether your marriage is over at all, the Is My Marriage Over? quiz looks at connection, contempt and repair in more depth. If you are close to the conversation itself, the guide to telling your spouse you want a divorce helps you find the words.
