A life coach has revealed the one clear warning sign that proves your marriage is on the rocks for good, and it might not be what you expect. Life coach, Rick Netshiozwi, took to TikTok to share the ‘sign’ to his more than 348,000 followers in a video that went viral – seen by 1.1m and counting.

Claiming a relationship is dead in the water when it becomes ‘void of touch’ he told his followers: "You don’t hug each other anymore. The kissing is not the same anymore, or it’s not done as frequently as it used to be done. When you sleep, the person’s half is their half, that other is your half. Your feet don’t even touch anymore,” he added, before proclaiming that this means the relationship is on its ‘deathbed.’

After his revelation that touch was a critical component for any marriage, his video clearly touched a nerve with viewers, with many furious at his comments and some just suggesting that the ‘deathbed’ signs were more of a sign people just wanted a good night’s sleep in bed instead.

“We are both in our 50’s. We sleep in different bedrooms because we both snore. I can’t remember the last time we kissed,” wrote one married viewer who also told they had been married “35 years so far." Another admitted if their husband touched their feet while they slept: “We’ve got issues.”

“Or maybe they just achieved a new level of comfort and the next step in marriage,” said another, who claimed to have been married 30 years. “We already did all that, now we want our bedtime.” One commented: “My marriage was like that and almost did die. We made it through.”

Many viewers admitted to living in marriages they didn’t enjoy, with one saying: “If I could turn back time I would run from this life of misery,” while another said: “I used to hate it when he made it home. Doomed from the start.”
