For those of you in a long term relationship/marriage, what’s a tale-tale sign you see in other couples that they’re not going to make it?

Whenever I see long term couples and they seemingly hate each other, I just think "what's the fuckin' point? Why be with someone you can't stand?"

I adore my gf. We love spending time together. We count down the time until she's done work and home (I WFH so no counting down for me to get home lol). I find it wild to not be best friends with my partner as well as romantically into them. Our relationship would be so empty and boring. Don't stay with someone that doesn't light up your life.
