9 Warnings Signs That He Will Surely Break Your Heart

"Ah, that’s just him taking his time. His intention wasn't to hurt me. He must have said or meant something else. It was clearly my mistake. I possibly pushed him too much – these were the silly things I used to think in the initial part of the relationship until I understood I was on my way to a heartbreak. It's always the little red flags in a relationship that you need to watch out for", "Trust your instincts. Don’t ignore the warning signs just because you like the way he looks."

It’s hard to know whether your man is truly committed to the relationship or not. There is no clear-cut way of knowing how your relationship with the guy will turn out to be in the future. When a man breaks your heart, it is difficult to stay level-headed or understand why it happened. However, you can deal with it in a better way by being prepared. If you happen to notice any of these 9 signs he wants to leave you, then he might be on his way to break your heart.

# He avoids calling you his ‘partner’

He introduces you as a friend to his colleagues and peers. Even if he does introduce you as his partner, there is a hesitation in his voice. This can mean that he has not yet registered you as his ‘partner’ in his head. He is scared to dive into the relationship and be completely involved with you. This is one of the signs he will break your heart.

# He is not interested in meeting your family

Whenever you make plans for your partner to meet your family, he makes excuses. And when you express a desire to meet his family, he turns you down. Meeting the parents is a huge step forward in any relationship. If your man refuses to take this important step with you, he might be on the road to breaking your heart. Sarah says, “He had met everyone from my innermost circle, and I knew almost no one from his. It should have been clear to me that he wasn’t in it for the long haul.”

# His temperament changes from hot to cold frequently

If Katy Perry’s famous song Hot n Cold seems to describe your man, he will break your heart. Sometimes, he seems completely mesmerized by you and showers you with love. Other times, he remains distant, cold and avoids you completely. We’re not saying that your partner should dote on you at all times – that is unrealistic.

However, if his behavior toward you oscillates like a pendulum, it is cause for alarm and one of the signs he wants to leave you. This rapidly fluctuating temperament proves that he might break your heart soon.

# Signs he will break your heart: He fails to take out time for you

If he is seriously into you, then he will make efforts to take out time for you. Especially at the beginning of a relationship. However, if he fails to do so and does not make you a priority, then you can suspect that he is going to break your heart.

Please remember that there may be no satisfactory answer to “Why did he leave me?”. When somebody breaks your heart by ignoring you, bear in mind to not let it affect your self-worth. You can survive this heartbreak without breaking yourself.

# He keeps hinting that he is not ready for a relationship

He tells you that you might find someone better than him or that he is not sure if he’s ready for a relationship at the moment. Pay attention and keep your ears open. Don’t brush off these statements as jokes or banter. Gauge for yourself if it’s just a harmless expression of insecurity on his part or if he’s implying something else. If your man does this, he will break your heart very soon.

# He is not completely expressive

A man who genuinely wants to have a lasting relationship with you will be expressive and will share his desires and ambitions with you. But if he does not communicate his dreams, desires, hopes, and fears with you, he hasn’t opened up to you. If your man does this, he will break your heart.

# Signs he will break your heart: He flirts with other people

Do you see him flirting with other people? There couldn’t be a bigger red flag. He flirts with others unabashedly. He might even brag about it in front of you. When you confront him, he brushes it off as a ‘joke’. Except there is nothing funny about it; this clearly means he is not serious enough about the relationship.

# He is never honest with you

Lying comes naturally to him. A relationship functions on trust. If you find him lying about both small and big things, and then twisting the truth and justifying his lies, he’s bad news. When you confront him about it, he will spin a bigger lie, and so it will go on and on.

# He fails to be your support system

Your man is supposed to be your support system and be there for you through thick and thin. If he is never by your side when you need him the most, then it means he disrespects you and does not deserve you. If your man does this all the time, then it’s time to choose yourself and focus on self-preservation.
