According to Daily Nation, some couples experience what is termed a 'silent divorce', where they drift apart without realising it.

The publication reports that such relationships may lack overt conflict like fighting or arguing, but are characterised by fading affection, shallow conversations and growing emotional distance.

Daily Nation suggests these indicators point to couples gradually separating emotionally while remaining together physically.
