10 Subtle Signs He Wants To Break Up But Won't Cough Up The Words

Confrontation isn’t everyone’s forte. Some people would rather stew in debilitating unsaid words than speak up and do something about it. Your man might be one of them if he’s unhappy with the relationship. The only way to figure it out before he says something is to watch for the signs he wants to break up.

And this might be rather easy. Guys aren’t that great at hiding their true intent. When it comes to something this drastic, it’ll be written all over their faces and in their actions. You just have to know how to read it.

Being worried about your relationship is normal when you sense something is off. Here’s how you can figure out if that something is your man’s feelings for you. These signs point toward the signs he wants to break up, and the demise of your relationship.

# Things have been rocky

Your relationship has been iffy for a while now. Knowing this, it’s only realistic to assume one of you isn’t happy and is thinking about calling it quits.

Some relationships go through tough times and find a way out, sure. But if your man is showing a lot of these signs along with your relationship being on the rocks, he could want to end things.

# He’s spending more and more time away

If your man is thinking about leaving, he doesn’t want to be around you. He’ll often work late or go spend time with his friends a lot more than he used to. If he’s avoiding being alone with you, that’s one of the signs he wants to break up with you or is at least considering it.

# His affection toward you has dwindled

He really doesn’t do anything nice or even say anything nice to you. This will be super obvious because you can just think back to the last cute thing he said to you. If you really can’t think of anything, he’s probably unhappy and thinking about breaking up.

# You don’t talk anymore

And this isn’t in reference to your, “how was your day?” We’re saying you don’t talk about other stuff anymore. Those deep conversations are gone.

The ones where you sit and talk for hours without looking at your phone or having anything on the TV. When those disappear, the relationship is in trouble.

# No sexual intimacy

Sex is a major part of a relationship. And sure, you could just be in a sex rut. But if you try to get things going and he’s really not into it, then something is definitely wrong.

Refusal to have sex or an absence of initiation on his end are major signs he wants to break up.

# He’s hardly ever in a good mood around you

It’s not that he’s just cranky in general, but it’s around you. He could come home happy and playful but when you try to engage with him, he shuts down and is suddenly upset about seemingly nothing. Well, that seemingly nothing is probably just you.

# He’s dodging your questions about his behavior

If you’ve brought his behavior up, as you should have by now because communication is important, and he just ignores you, there’s trouble.

He won’t explain the shift in how he’s acting. This is a major red flag and a sign he’s not happy with you.

# He keeps picking arguments

This is basically in the hopes you’ll end things so he doesn’t have to. He might make a remark under his breath or even bring up old issues you thought were solved long ago.

The point is, if he’s upset and bringing up random things to argue about, it might be one of the signs he wants to break up with you.

# You don’t even go on dates

Date nights ended long ago. When your man isn’t even interested in dating anymore, things have gone south.

You can even try to suggest a date and if he refuses or makes up lame excuses, he doesn’t really want to be with you.

# You feel alone even when you’re together

This is probably the saddest part about this whole thing. You feel alone even if you’re both watching the same movie right next to each other. This means there’s a very large disconnect and oftentimes, it’s followed by a breakup.
