She is seeking for a way out if she is spending less and less time with you. A wife who is dissatisfied in her marriage becomes greedy with her time, money, and emotions. This indication that she is dissatisfied with you should be addressed as soon as possible, or you may lose her permanently. The signs of an unhappy wife include: Wants a divorce - If your wife has ever told you that she wants a divorce then you should take this request seriously. Divorce is a serious matter and you should never force your spouse to stay in a relationship that she does not want to continue. Instead, listen to what she has to say and try to understand why she wants out. Is doing poorly at work/school - An unhappy wife will usually find a way to distract herself from her problems at home by being involved in other things, such as her job or schoolwork. If she is unable to do so, then there is a good chance that she may be depressed about something at home. Has a negative attitude towards life - An unhappy wife will usually have a negative outlook on everything including you and the marriage. If she constantly complains about your finances or accuses you of cheating even though you have lived cleanly for many years, then she is probably feeling down about something.
