If you ever found yourself clutching your phone anxiously while waiting for his text, I get you. Every little sound gives you hope thinking he finally answered, but it’s just another boring notification from some random FB page you once followed.
Then overthinking starts. Is he busy at work? Maybe he’s out with his friends. Or the worst possibility ever – he’s planning that “we need to talk” moment.
Now, hold your horses. Don’t panic right away. From my experience, I can tell you that no texts or dry responses are sometimes totally fine! We all have our moments when our social battery runs out.
However, some red flags should raise your concerns and give you subtle hints that he’s done with you. I’ve dealt with it in the past so now I can smell a breakup from a mile away! Here’s what usually tells me that the relationship is coming to an end.
1. You’re suddenly the one to blame for everything
Ever felt like it’s all your fault? Whatever happens, he blames you, even if he made a mistake. Yeah, it’s a pretty bad feeling to have. It makes you question yourself and if he’s really right.
If this sounds familiar, darling, you’re in a relationship with a professional manipulator. He’s putting everything on you, so he can justify himself from leaving.
2. Confronting him only makes things worse
We all know that open communication is worth its weight in gold. It can resolve all the issues and prevent arguments in the future. So, if he doesn’t want to speak to you calmly and honestly, what does it tell you?
By shutting down this universal solution for almost everything, he knows it will only get worse. That’s exactly why he’s doing it – he wants more reasons for a breakup. Also, it’s possible he just doesn’t want to take accountability for anything.
3. His promises are just empty words
This one just breaks your heart. It’s like telling you that you’ll see the world together and then giving you a plastic globe to look at.
This just shows he doesn’t care and won’t take responsibility for his words. And you know our girls’ golden rule – if he wanted to he would. And it really does be like that!
My ex promised me the whole universe but the only things I got were trust issues and depression! It’s a totally different story with my boyfriend now. He really goes out of his way to provide everything for me just to make me happy!
4. You’re not his priority anymore
You are bored, scrolling through your social media, and you bump into his story. He’s having the time of his life with his friends while one hour ago he said he’s too busy to hang out with you!
5. He doesn’t hide flirting with others
This one just stings like a bee! Flirting with others behind your back is horribly wrong, but doing it in front of you? Now, that’s what I call disrespect.
It’s like he doesn’t care anymore about hurting your feelings! He’s inconsiderate and not afraid to show it. He might do this to test the waters for the future but also to piss you off and make you jealous.
This can only lead to one thing – an ugly fight. And we all know what comes after that. Don’t even bother staying with him!
