Women dream of their perfect husband and living happily ever after with him, and that starts at a young age. And of course, Disney movies like Cinderella and Snow White don’t help us either. We’re all programmed to want our Prince Charming who sweeps us off our feet and with whom we’ll ride off into the sunset.
But let’s face it – that’s not reality for a lot of people. Even if a couple is happily married, they still may not be blissful. So, let’s take a look at why some people fall out of love.
Before you read these, I want to preface it by saying these are *possible* signs that your husband doesn’t love you anymore. I’m not saying he doesn’t. So, let’s just get that straight right here. To know for sure, you will have to have a long conversation with him. Because he is the only one who knows for sure.
# He forgets your birthday or anniversaryOkay, I know. There are tons of men who forget special occasions. I get it. But if he used to remember, but now he doesn’t, then that might be a problem. It’s the change in behavior patterns that is the most concerning.
# He blames you for all the problemsIf he won’t take any responsibility for his actions or the overall state of the marriage, then this is a big issue. It’s not necessarily one of the signs your husband doesn’t love you anymore, but it’s not a good factor for the state of your relationship.
# He doesn’t put any effort into your relationshipIf you feel like you are doing all the work, then you are. And you’re doing most of the work because he probably just doesn’t care anymore. Don’t take it too personally, he is just not mature enough to be a stand up man who knows how to make his marriage work.
# He never calls or stays connected to youWhen you were first dating, of course, the communication was constant. When people are newly in love, it’s natural. But when people fall out of love, they don’t want to or need to stay connected to the other person anymore.
# He is cold and inattentiveAnother one of the signs your husband doesn’t love you anymore is if he is acting like a stranger. If he never has any time to talk to you and doesn’t treat you like his wife, that’s not a good sign.
# You catch him *or suspect he is* cheating
If he won’t let you look through is phone or emails, or if he doesn’t come home when he says he will, then that’s a problem. It’s not necessarily a sign he’s cheating, but it certainly is suspicious, and it shouldn’t be happening.
# He’s not home very oftenHe makes every excuse to not spend time with you. He has to work late all the time, or he’s always going out with the boys. Even if he’s at the gym all the time, he is constantly coming up with reasons to do his own thing and stay away from home.
# He no longer wants sex or shows affectionWhile the stereotype that every man wants sex all the time is a myth, he should at least want it some of the time. But if nothing is happening in your bedroom besides sleeping, then this is *or is going to be* a huge problem.
