12 signs your marriage is over

Every relationship goes through rocky patches, but when the rocky patches cover most of the relationship terrain, you may feel that it's time to rethink the permanency of your marriage. Here are 13 signs that your relationship may be nearing its conclusion:

1. Abuse of any sort—physical, emotional, verbal, sexual, financial, spiritual, etc.—is present and there is no willingness to acknowledge the abuse by the abuser or to stop the behavior.
2. There is an absence of respect and mutual concern between you and your partner, and your partner is not willing to reflect on or change their behavior.
3. Apathy towards one another has replaced caring for one another.
4. You decide to take an objective look at your relationship, and when you reflect on the pros and the cons of staying together, the cons seriously outweigh the pros.
