The desire to love and be loved is such a wonderful feeling.
So, it is heartbreaking to see that someone who once told you they loved you suddenly stopped loving you.
It’s a difficult thought to accept; however, it’s always good to read the handwriting on the wall as they appear to make your decision.
Are you in doubt about your boyfriend’s love for you?
Do you feel your boyfriend has changed from being the ‘’sweetest boy ever-liveth’’ to a perfect stranger?
These are the following signs to watch out for:
12 Signs Your Boyfriend is Not in Love With You Anymore
1) He stops being affectionate with you.
While every man has specific ways they express their love, one thing is sacrosanct; they would always express love in the best possible way to the one they love.
When your boyfriend stops being affectionate with you, this may be the first signal that he is falling out of love with you.
The moment he stops doing or reduces the little things he used to do to sweep you off your feet, just know that something is wrong somewhere.
It could be the sending of flowers weekly, being the first person to call in the morning, the fortnight date nights, he stops affirming his love towards you in words, he stops caring about you and your concerns.
Something has shifted and it’s time to ask yourself – is he falling out of love?
2) He wants to be alone.
Every adult has one or two things that are calling their attention; however, a man in love would always make out time to spend with the one he claims to love.
I know we all have bills to pay, goals to achieve and tasks to tick off our to-do lists, but people in serious relationships still make time for the love of their lives.
Come on, what about married people?
They have so mnay duties and roles to play but they still find ways to steal moments with their partners.
If your boyfriend seems too busy for you and starts giving excuses of staying away or pushing for solo time, especially if nothing about his schedule has changed, it’s one of the signs your boyfriend is not in love with you anymore.
3) He stops communicating with you
Communication is the mitochondria of any relationship, and the moment it dies, the relationship is gone!
When he stops having rich conversations with you but expects you to figure out stuff by yourself or when you raise concerns about your dwindling communication, and he seems to be indifferent about it, it’s obvious he’s done.
When you are the one driving the conversations and you have to force him to get his opinion about certain issues, it shows that he no longer derives fulfillment in talking to you.
You now feel like you are the one dating yourself.
While there’s a possibility that he could be busy or he’s having a bad time, his lack of communication could be the first signs of him falling out of love with you.
Reach out to him and see if he responds. If there’s no response, it might be time for you to move on.
The longer you stay in this one-sided relationship, the more pain you will feel when eventually things
4) He forgets important dates.
Remembering is very important to women.
Birthdays and relationship anniversaries are worth celebrating.
When your boyfriend, who used to be the first to pop wine on important dates of your life, has now decided to take a back seat in this regard, it means he no longer considers you a priority.
A man who is in love with you will consistently do things that will make you happy.
When he starts forgetting these dates, and it’s unusual of him, it means whatever he has for you is no longer existing.
5) He blames you for everything.
One of the means a man who doesn’t love you anymore devises to drive you away is to blame you for everything.
For example, if you both decide to go out in his car and he gets involved in an accident, he can blame it on you by saying peradventure you didn’t insist on going out, he wouldn’t be involved in an accident.
If he gets to work late because he overslept, he will blame it on the long phone call he had with you the previous day.
He ensures to hold you responsible for every mistake or error committed by himself.
When your boyfriend continually does this, it’s so obvious that he’s done with you.
He’s hoping you’ll get the message and let him be.
6) He longer has rich conversations with you.
When a man is in love, even the quietest is like a “parrot” with the one he loves.
From talking about business, career, family, and so many other topics of interest, there would always be something to talk about, and this, in turn, strengthens the bond between you.
When your conversations have moved from long hours of chitchat to an awkward few minutes of talk, and you have done everything possible to find out the cause of this silence, all to no avail, it means this guy probably no longer has strong feelings for you.
7) He stops running his plans and decisions by you.
Before now, for every step he wants to take and decision he wants to make, he ensures to run them by you to get your opinion about them.
He does this because he loves and trusts you to give wise counsel and also because he feels you have a stake in his life.
When he suddenly stops involving you in his plans, it means he doesn’t see you as being worthy of such honor again, and so doesn’t owe you such information.
8) You are the only one making efforts.
It sure takes two to tango.
When you are the one making moves to ensure the love relationship is sustained and he is just not putting in any effort, it’s a sign that something has changed.
He may be gradually fading away because he doesn’t feel the same way as before.
9) He no longer expresses his emotions towards you.
This is one of the most common signs that someone has lost interest in you.
When he’s no longer saying sweet things or expressing his love for you, it may be because he doesn’t feel the same way.
He might still care about you but may just not be in love with you anymore.
10) He stops complimenting you.
If he has moved from the once perfect gentleman who wouldn’t stop complimenting you, your looks, and your achievements to not even noticing anything about you, this implies that he stopped paying attention to you.
And when you raise your concerns about this, he snaps at you and makes you feel you are just being unnecessarily silly.
11) You suspect he’s cheating on you.
It could be that he’s not cheating on you physically, but emotionally.
He may be pouring his heart out to someone else, while neglecting your relationship.
Cheating is cheating.
Just because he’s not sleeping with someone else, doesn’t mean he’s not cheating.
12) Your instincts tell you something is wrong.
If your gut tells you that something’s off, it most likely is.
You know this guy better than anybody else, and if you feel like there’s a lack of connection between the two of you, then there probably is.
Don’t ignore these feelings – they may be warning signs that things in your relationship have changed for the worse.
When your boyfriend, who once was fond of you and considered you the best thing that has ever happened to him, suddenly starts acting like a stranger towards you, you should raise address these issues with him, and if you observe there are little or no changes, you have your answers already.
