Relationships are tough. There are just so many things that you have to be thinking about. There are so many things that you need to be keeping track of. There are so many feelings that you need to process. Sometimes, it can get overwhelming. But hey, no one ever told you that it was going to be easy.
This is exactly what you signed up for. This is the price that you’re going to have to pay for your love. And whether or not the struggle is worth it is entirely up to you. You are the one who has to decide if you are willing to go through the hardships of love just to be in a relationship with your man.
However, the sad truth is that even if you’re willing to go through all the hardships for your relationship, your man might not necessarily be feeling the same way. And it’s true when they say that it takes two people to make a relationship work. When one person isn’t invested in the romance, then you can bet that it’s likely that things aren’t going to last.
So that’s why it’s always essential for you to be on top of your relationship. You must always know where your man stands in the relationship and whether he’s still in it or not. This way, if you feel like he is starting to waiver you can do something about it. Either you can try to fix the problems of your relationship, or you can help brace yourself for an imminent breakup so that it won’t hurt so much. Either way, you can’t afford to let yourself be oblivious to the state of your relationship. Here are some signs that your man is giving up on your relationship:
1. He doesn’t make himself emotionally available to you.
He doesn’t open himself up to you anymore. You get the feeling that he’s hiding a lot of things from you and he doesn’t trust you with his feelings and his emotions as much as he used to. He is starting to act like a complete stranger.
2. He doesn’t run errands or do nice things for you anymore.
He used to always want to make you happy. He would do whatever he could to bring a smile to your face but those days are gone now. He doesn’t invest himself into trying to make you smile anymore because your happiness doesn’t matter much to him.
3. He criticizes you just to hurt you.
Criticism is fine in a relationship. There should always be room for criticism in a romance. However, it should be done with sensitivity, empathy, and love. But you notice that when he criticizes you, it’s only done to hurt you.
4. He doesn’t make you feel like he pays attention to you.
You always used to get the feeling like he was listening to you whenever you wanted to tell him something. But now, he makes you feel like whatever you say goes in through one ear and it goes right out through the other.
The more you understand yourself, the more silence there is, the healthier you are. —Maxime Lagacé
