7 Signs He’s About to Break Up With You
I think the feeling of helplessness you’re left with is the worst part of being dumped because there’s usually nothing you can do about it. The only thing that could help is knowing it’s coming so you can mentally prepare yourself if that’s even possible. With that in mind, here are some common signs that a guy has mentally said goodbye to the relationship and might be about to break up with you.
7 Signs He’s About to Break Up With You.
1. He makes an unconvincing apology for…
Does he make lame excuses for not being able to spend time with you? Don’t be too alarmed if he says he’s too busy to spend time together. Many people have very hectic lives right now and can’t always make their relationship a top priority. But there should always be a good reason why you can’t meet up.
When he has a lame and implausible excuse or doesn’t try to make one at all, then you have a problem. It looks like he just doesn’t want it.
2. He starts quarrels over trifles.
For couples in a relationship, quarrels are normal; without them, there is no relationship. But people in happy relationships usually understand that it is not worth arguing over trivial things, and if it happens, they try to make it up as soon as possible.
When a guy starts fighting over little things or getting angry over completely unimportant things, he may be craving for a fight. He’s looking for a reason for your fight to escalate into something more terrible—a breakup. Understand that someone who wants to be with someone won’t constantly initiate squabbles and fights.
3. He stops sharing his experiences with you
When you tell someone how your day went, it is usually a sign of trust and a good attitude towards this person. It is a form of intimacy because you do not share these details with everyone you know. And if your boyfriend/man has stopped sharing his experiences and feelings with you, then something is wrong.
Such communication stops when the guy is not ready to continue the relationship or something does not suit him. From his point of view, there is no point in sharing if the relationship has no future.
If you notice that your boyfriend has completely closed himself off from you and doesn’t want to tell you anything, this doesn’t bode well. Perhaps you should ask him directly what the problem is?
4. He doesn’t want to talk about your relationship
A man who is planning to break up with you will avoid any conversation about your relationship as if it were the plague. Again, there is no point in him talking to you about it if he knows the relationship won’t last.
Also, if he brings it up, he might break up with you right away. This might not be his ideal plan, so he won’t discuss your future together until he’s sure of his decision.
5. He doesn’t appreciate you.
When you and your partner don’t appreciate each other, your relationship is definitely in trouble. He’s either on autopilot with you or he feels like he’s ready for life without you.
As a test, let him know how much you appreciate him. If he doesn’t reciprocate or his words seem forced, there’s a good chance he’s planning to end things soon. Or has he been like this all along?
6. He only criticizes you
Spoiler alert, ladies: You are not perfect. That’s because no one is. Sometimes couples can recognize and voice each other’s flaws, but that criticism needs to be balanced with compliments. If a guy is critical of you but then points out what he likes about you, then it’s okay. However, if he criticizes you without complimenting you, that’s not good.
7. Intimacy is gone
If he is not interested in sex with you and avoids you in every possible way in this regard, this is a bad sign. This does not always happen because he wants to break up; there may be no less serious reasons for this, which you will have to find out. If this is the situation between you now, then something is wrong.
But the thing is, intimacy isn’t measured by just intimate relationships; it’s much deeper than that. He might still have sex with you even if he’s planning on breaking up with you. I mean, most guys won’t give up sex, but you might notice a complete lack of intimacy.
