6. He Gets Irritated When You Start a Mushy Conversation
Mushy conversations and cute names are a playful part of a couple's love life. These things slowly taper off as the puppy-love effect wears off, but they still remain deep-rooted in everyday behavior.
Your guy's annoyance may be justified if you overdo it by calling him cute names all day long. But an overall aversion
to anything lovey-dovey can be a sign that he is no longer invested in the relationship.SEE ALSO ' CHRISTIAN DATING: BE EQUALLY YOKED'
7) Your Boyfriend Has Stopped Saying "I Love You"
A guy and a girl usually start saying "I love you" to each other once they move past the first phase of dating. If your relationship developed into the "I love you" stage a long time ago, there is no reason why your boyfriend should suddenly feel averse to saying these three beautiful words to you. As cheesy as it sounds, if he stops saying them, it is a strong sign that that he isn't as into you as he was before.
8) He Doesn't Bother to Comfort You, Even When You Are Sad
If he doesn't comfort you when you're feeling blue, he's not reacting as a boyfriend should.
A man who is in love will always recognize when his loved one is sad or in distress, and will do whatever it takes to bring a smile back to her face. This is true regardless of how much a couple fights or argues. No guy can call himself a boyfriend if he does nothing when he knows that something is bothering his girl.
Hugging a girl when she looks sad and rubbing her shoulders when she is down should be a boyfriend's instincts. If your guy doesn't do any of that and turns a blind eye even when you are feeling blue, it can be a sign that he doesn't love you with the same intensity that he did before.
9) Your Boyfriend Digs up Regrettable Incidents from Your Past
Everyone knows how painful it feels when someone reminds you of memories that have scarred you emotional and psychologically. It takes a person many years to forget someone, let go of bitter memories, and move on from the regret of doing stupid things.
Your boyfriend has no reason to dig up painful memories from your past and fling them at you when you have an argument. This is one boundary that partners must not cross, because it can be very damaging to someone's confidence.
If your guy has recently started slinging your past regrets at you with a hurtful intent, his feelings for you may have already bottomed out.
10) He Doesn't Flirt with You Any More
Flirting speaks volumes about the chemistry a couple shares. No matter how long you have been in the same relationship, your boyfriend should typically be flirting with you by:
- Giving you compliments when you wear something new
- Picking random moments to tell you how beautiful you are
- Staring at you and looking into your eyes when you are both alone
- Make you feel sexy by telling you how attractive you are
Of course, your guy isn't expected to be Prince Charming all the time. But he should be taking the initiative to start such romantic conversations every now and then.
11) The Spark of Physical Intimacy Fizzles Out in Your Relationship
Snuggling and physical contact is normal in a relationship. If you find yourselves maintaining your distance from one another, that's a sign something is wrong.
When a guy starts falling out of love, it will reflect in his hugs, kisses, and cuddles. The chemistry of physical intimacy that you share with your guy says a lot about your relationship. Ask yourself these questions if you think that your boyfriend doesn't love you anymore:
- Do you still share those long hugs that you used to when you started dating him?
- Does your boyfriend cuddle you when you are all by yourselves?
Thinking about these things will immediately give you a fair idea of whether your boyfriend is still totally into you or has gotten bored in the relationship. Another sign of a lack of emotional connect is when your sex life is either non-existent or it has gotten to the point that it feels mundane.
12) He Gets Angry and Loses His Cool without Any Reason
People lose their tempers for any number of reasons, including doing poorly at school, having rough times at work, feeling bullied, or going through family problems.
If your boyfriend seems to be edgy all the time and loses his temper at non-issues, try to find out the reason for his anger. If you can't seem to pin-point any specific causes, his random flare-ups could simply mean that he is irritated by you and the relationship.
13) Your Boyfriend Suddenly Starts Getting Annoyed by Some of Your Habits
Has your boyfriend recently started pointing out little stuff in your everyday behavior, claiming that you annoy him endlessly? Ask yourself these questions if he suddenly feels that some of your habits are driving him crazy.
- Did you have these habits before you met him?
- Had any of those habits created problems in the relationship before?
