"Divorce is always good news," Louis C.K. once joked. "I know that sounds weird, but it's true because no good marriage has ever ended in divorce. That would be sad. If two people were married and ... they just had a great thing and then they got divorced, that would be really sad. But that has happened zero times." Sometimes it's healthy and responsible for you and your spouse to settle on a divorce. Here are the signs:

1. Your spouse skips important functions.

Let's not get confused though. You may not always want to do everything together and that's fine. You may not want to go play racquetball with your wife, or you may not feel like going to every single work event with your husband. That's not a big deal. But if you find yourself going to picnics, family reunions, movies, concerts, work events, and everything else on your own, it may be time to question why it is that you're going it alone. Are you and your spouse naturally drifting apart?

2. The fighting is petty.

Fighting isn't a problem. In fact, one of the first signs you're headed for divorce is that you don't ever argue about anything. But picture this: you walk through the door after a long day at work and the first thing your husband does is yell at you about the phone bill. Or maybe the first thing your wife does is harass you about how dirty the kitchen is. When the fighting starts getting petty, that's a clear sign something is not right.

3. You never get any alone time.

You might say to your wife, "Let's go out for a drink tonight!" And she invites 10 of her friends. Or you might suggest a ski trip to your husband, at which point he invites his parents. Spending time alone with your spouse is important because it lets you truly connect. Constantly diluting it with other people pushes you further apart.
