You may think it’s easy to tell when you’re getting dumped. But it’s not. Not always, that is. Sometimes guys keep those aces in their back pocket, and until he has a reason to jump ship, he’s not ready to. He’s been preparing for it for quite some time, unbeknownst to you. Here are the top 6 not so obvious signs he’s going to break up with you.
1. He keeps picking arguments.
If every little discussion leads to an argument then signs are that he wants to break up. He might even go to the extent of bringing up long forgotten issues that were resolved a long time ago. If he brings up random things to argue about, just know that he is getting fed up. Things like who left the light on or who ate the last slice of Pizza, you should wonder what’s really going on. Continually choosing to have the same fight over and over again could mean that he’s trying to validate his reason for thinking about breaking up because the two of you have started fighting a lot.
2. No Future Talk
He used to talk about getting married, like 3 years ago. Now he can’t even discuss his plans for the next week. Why? Because he’s secretly hoping a zombie apocalypse might happen, you’ll disappear from the face of the earth, and he’ll be forced to settle down with that hot and tough Armageddon chick with the pitch-black hair you always wanted to try. But didn’t. So yeah, let’s just say a little action is on his mind, and it has nothing to do with moving your relationship into the future.
3. Your Needs Are Last
A man that truly cares about you and who wants to be with you will make all your needs a priority to him. He may not understand why you must have things a certain way, but he’s willing to compromise his needs and place yours before his own, at least part of the time!
4. He Shows No Interest
If your partner shoes zero interest in your family, friends, social activities, etc., it could be a sign that he’s going to break up with you. When people are truly committed to one another they want to play active roles in one another’s lives. When he starts to withdraw, or shows no more interest in YOU, it’s because he’s over you, and it’s time for you to move on.
5. He Stops Calling and Texting
This is common. “ Sorry bae I forgot to text you, I had a low battery”. However, when relationships are new and still exciting, it seems like you and your partner can’t get enough of one another, so you are constantly texting each other throughout your day – much to the annoyance of your boss and colleagues in the office. If your partner suddenly stops responding to your messages or won’t pick up the phone when you call, it is very likely that he’s starting to feel less excited at the prospect of talking to you.
He may also change his last seen on WhatsApp so you won’t know when he is online. His Facebook posts are no longer public but set to a preferred audience.
6. The Compliments Stop
This goes beyond just criticism. If your man has just up and stopped complimenting you, be on the lookout for an impending breakup. The longer a man is with you and loves you, the more he will naturally appreciate you and be drawn to all your desirable traits. He’ll feel smitten and want to share these feelings. If you’ve noticed a cold or quiet shoulder when it comes to all those little sweet nothings that make you feel good, he’s probably ready to dump you. Or he’s just aloof!
