signs he pretends to love you

 

One moment he may be so in love with you, and the next, all you’ll see are signs he doesn’t love you anymore.

This can be very painful and will lead you to a place in your life where all you’d have in your mind is to ask, “what went wrong?” What could cause a happy relationship to end in heartbreak and tears? If that’s the question on your mind now, chances are you see many signs that he doesn’t love you anymore, and you think it is the end of the road.

 

When men often change their behavior towards their other half, they seldom pretend about it.

No matter how hard he tries to act, he will blow up his cover and let you know that he’s no longer interested in you.

It’s quite normal for the lady to feel used and hurt.

So if you are probably thinking he is no longer in love with you or planning to end things, watch out for these signs I will list in today’s article.

Of course, there are more than 15 signs, but these are the major signs he doesn’t love you anymore.

 

1.  Giving Unnecessary Excuses To Avoid You

signs he never loved you

 

I’m sure you will know when his excuses are flimsy? This only means one thing, and that is, he is just trying to avoid you.

Now, that must be painful, and I get it because for someone who told you that they can’t live without you, to suddenly try everything they can not to see you will beg the question, “what did I do wrong?” Sometimes, the problem isn’t what you did wrong but the issue is with him.

There are many signs he is using you and once he’s done, he’ll give as many excuses as he can just to avoid your face.

Formerly, before he began to bring up silly excuses to avoid doing things with you, he couldn’t go a day or two without seeing you, this should tell you that he never loved you.

As painful as that sounds, it’s the truth. There are many ways on how to know if a guy is using you for your body or not.

He’ll usually act nice for a moment to get what he wants; once he’s gotten it, his attitude changes completely.

He will get irritated at everything you do, and when you bring up the suggestion of hanging out together at his place or yours, he will tell you something like, “sorry, I can’t today because I lost my pen.” What an excuse! This is a bad sign.

If you’ve also noticed that despite you both living in the same house, somehow you don’t run into each other, this is not a coincidence.

Let me repeat that, it is not a coincidence! This may be his only means of telling you that he is no longer interested in you anymore. If your man shows you this, this is one of the signs he doesn’t love you anymore.

 

2.  Getting Angry With No Definite Reason

At some point in a relationship, we will get angry with our spouse, and that is quite normal.

Sometimes over simple things and other times over-complicated matters, but what is abnormal is when he begins to get angry over little things or nothing.

This is not a good sign and the man might be telling you he is fed up and wants out.

Time and time again, disagreements will occur which might leave him frustrated, maybe because you refused to see things from his point of view when he expects you to.

Frankly, even I will get upset for a while but getting angry over nothing just doesn’t sit right with me. There is a hidden agenda behind all that anger over nothing.

This is also part of the signs he doesn’t love you anymore.

Formerly, before the change of character, perhaps, your man has always been the patient type, the easy-going fellow and smiles more often with you.

But lately, you notice that he has been getting angry and always shouting at you even when the situation doesn’t warrant that.

Suddenly, you begin to see how his tolerance level has dropped to an all-time low, and he prefers doing things himself because, in his own words, you just like to make him annoyed.

This could mean just one thing; he is no longer interested and he is looking for a way out.

You might even try to do things differently but when he’s made up his mind, it doesn’t matter how hard you try, he will still stick to his script.

 

3.  He Gives You Little Or No Attention

 signs he is using you

 

Men know that women like it when they are given attention. So if he decides not to give you attention like he used to, you should get the message he is trying to convey to you.

His attention could come in the way he prioritizes you over any other thing or person. When he loves you, you will know because you’re his world.

He might have a busy schedule or demanding job and other commitments, but he’ll still put you above all to some extent.

He will find time to be with you and still have time for himself. If at any time you realise that you’re now excess luggage, that may indicate one thing.

If other things like work, friends, family, or even his hobbies get more attention than you do, his feelings for you aren’t what they used to be.

All of the things listed above were present when he still had time for you, so what has changed? If you are seeking signs he doesn’t love you anymore, there you have it.

This could also play out in this manner. Perhaps, he will avoid things that will bring you both together.

He will begin to act cold towards you by telling you he’s busy and when you he’s not busy, he won’t even give you attention.

He will deliberately strive you of attention to push you out.

When he does this to you, this is part of the signs he never loved you. For instance, he used to ask you questions like, “how was your day, honey?”, “how are you feeling?” or “how was work?” You know, he just feels happy asking you those kinds of questions so that you both could get talking but recently, it feels like he is a different man.

Other less relevant things are at the top of his list and he feels ok with it, this is a bad sign. In times like this, whatever you do just seems boring to him, dear, the man is seeking a perfect time to tell you that he is done.

 

4.  He Stops Saying Loving Words

The use of loving and kind words is a part of any romantic relationship. Is your relationship void of such? This might be one of the signs he doesn’t love you anymore.

Most men do understand that women love to hear sweet words. It makes them flourish, so what man won’t like to make his lady flourish? Your guess is as good as mine.

Words of affirmation are a part of the five love languages that we have. The wonders they do are stunning. They can melt the receiver’s heart, so more often, people tend to use them.

On the other hand, the absence of such loving words over a long period could mean one thing. And it is what most women wouldn’t want to hear, and that is, “I’m done with you.”

Words like, “I love you” or “I cherish you” convey a message of need. However, this will tell the hearer that you are still needed in my life. This will only make the woman happy.

So when he stops using them and replaces them with hurtful or resentful ones, it will leave a scar on the lady’s heart. The one who once loved you isn’t in love with you any longer.

 

5.  He Begins To Compare You With Other Women

Nobody likes being compared with others because we are all special in different ways. And in those special ways lies our uniqueness.

Every human being on earth has an area where he or she is deficient in but when your spouse seems to make a mockery of you because of that, more often, maybe he may just have seen someone else he esteems more than you.

If I haven’t had another flavour of ice cream, I can’t compare it to the flavour I have now to know which taste better. By the way, this is not to liken women to that.

Formerly, he seemed to like you despite the presence of that flaw but lately, with any little mistake you make he uses it to attack you.

It almost feels like he is waiting for that moment Why? He sees it as an opportunity to bring up other women to the picture.

At worst, he might even storm out after he says that. He’s seeking an avenue to be with the other lady.

The truth is no man who cares and loves his wife or girlfriend would compare her with any other lady. Instead, he would learn to accept her flaws, as she did his.

True love knows a person isn’t perfect and accepts them even in their worst state. Ways on how to know if a guy is using you or likes you are to check if his definition of love is close to this.

If yes, will he prove it? He could say all the right things and do the opposite of what he is saying. Be vigilant!

 

6.  He Asks For A Break Frequently

There are a lot of signs he doesn’t love you anymore and one of them is this one. As we all know, no relationship hasn’t had issues in the past but most of it was resolved.

One of the reasons why the issues were resolved was because both partners still believed that they could work things out. If he doesn’t see a future with you, he will demand to be alone at any given opportunity.

Distancing himself from you will let you know he’s on his way out.

Does he threaten to leave you at every slight disagreement? Dear, this isn’t a good sign. First of all, are you begging him to be in the relationship? Certainly not!

I get it; there are times when one might need some space to reflect on certain key things in life. Even I do that, but that’s different from asking for a break.

I can’t deny the fact that sometimes being alone doesn’t help. However, when he craves this a lot more than normal, something is wrong and needs to be dealt with ASAP! Note; With every behavior change comes a reason for that, and you might not be the reason as I earlier stated.

 

7.  He Avoids You In Public

If he does this to you, I can’t think of a clearer way of his disinterest in you and the relationship. A woman loves it when her man shows that they are together when they are in public.

I mean like, announce it! It brings this sense of satisfaction for them. However, when he begins to openly avoid you in public, then he’s got something in mind.

When your boyfriend doesn’t want you to be seen or associated with him in public or even doesn’t want to introduce you as his girlfriend, that’s a blow below the belt.

Even when his friends inquire, he tries to change the subject. Wow! He prefers to keep it between you two alone, like a secret cult thing! Well, these are part of the signs he doesn’t love you anymore and is seeking an escape route.

If we value and like something, we would like to show it to the world so that they would know. In essence, whatever a man values, he will show it to his circle.

So, he should do the same for you because you’re a rare gem. Well, that’s if he still sees you that way. So if he doesn’t see you as his rare gem anymore, he will be happy avoiding you in private and in public. You are not meant to be a secret.

 

8.  His Words Are Harsh And Rude

Words can make or break a relationship, and we know this fact. In time past, his words to you were tender and thoughtful but lately, it’s been different.

Times have changed but you’ve failed to realise this. If a man truly cares about your feelings, he would think before using certain words on you.

Usually, when his words are rude and harsh, this communicates to the lady that he no longer cares about her anymore.

So why comfort you and try to make you feel better with his words if he has no more need for you? This has happened over the years.

When he’s fed up, his attitude and words remain the same in private and in public. So if you notice he is beginning to act like this, take this as a red flag and prepare for what is coming or you could save yourself and part ways with him. It’s a lot easier than to have him talk down on you all day long. Remember, you are a queen.

 

9.  He Withdraws Himself

This is a bit tricky because it could go either way. This may be just a coincidence and it may have nothing to do with you.

However, he may just want to gradually fade out of the scene. See why I said this one is a bit tricky? Whether we like it or not, the truth is every relationship will face this stage but if you’ve made advances to him and he is still acting this way, chances are he wants to end things with you.

Another sign that comes with this is that he will be unwilling to put effort into the relationship.

If he is still in love with you, his reaction to your concerns and questions should be to explain what’s been happening to him or let you know what’s on his mind so you two can work things out.

But if he still refuses to discuss the issues, then that’s a clear message to you saying, “I’m done!”

This attitude doesn’t show what real love is, and this is not what every couple goes through. The truth is your boyfriend’s love for you has disappeared.

It’s obvious that he is not ready to fight for the relationship and is cool with letting things go south. Someone who loves you would never behave like that.

 

10.  Communication Issues

Part of the signs he doesn’t love you anymore is his unwillingness to talk with you.

Countless times we’ve heard that communication is key in every type of relationship, and if this becomes an issue, then there is a higher tendency of things getting worst.

When a person loves you and wants to still keep the relationship alive, they will be willing to talk with you. His attitude or words should say, “how do we overcome this, babe?

When he losses interest in you, he will also lose the need to talk or listen to you in any way possible. Also, note that this includes both verbal and non-verbal communication. This should tell you that it is over.

 

11.  He Doesn’t Take Any Interest In Your Life Anymore

signs he doesn't love you anymore

 

This is probably the most painful sign. This may cause you to ask questions. Of course, there are many signs he pretends to love you but as soon as he’s got what he wants, there will be no need to anymore.

When a man loves you, it’s normal that he is curious about the happenings in your life. Kind of like the way a child is.

Maybe you both did things together but lately, he has no interest anymore. It seems like whatever that includes your likes or hobbies; he thinks they are worthless now to him.

If he does not respect your interests, that only means he thinks you are not important to him. This may be hard to take because he once loved them but now, it doesn’t seem so.

Even when you try, he simply rejects it. All he is saying is, I’m done, lady!

 

12.  He Makes Plans That Don’t Involve You

What better sign could there be? When a man loves you, he makes his plans with you. He seeks your opinion and takes your advice.

But if he’s been making significant moves and you are unaware of them, girl, this is a red flag.

Making plans also talks about the future. This is a straight one telling you, there is no place for you in his future.

If you’ve noticed this with your man, he could be gearing up to disclose the big news to you soon. This should help brace you up for it.

 

13.  He Doesn’t Open Up Anymore

signs he doesn't love you anymore

 

We are together because we share key things. This is like saying, your secrets are safe with me. One of the signs he doesn’t love you anymore is when he begins to build a wall.

He suddenly excuses himself to pick up calls, and refuses access to his phone, and this is very unlike him because, in the past, he had no issues with this.

Furthermore, his whereabouts become a mystery to you. How sad! If he suddenly does this to you, this could be the end of the road for the relationship.

A man who loves you wouldn’t do any of that. You’re his lady because of the access you have to him. This simply means that he is gradually putting you in your place. Why? He doesn’t see a need for you to be his lady anymore.

 

14.  There Is No More Intimacy

A man can do this to a woman if his heart no longer beats for her.

This also means he’s lost all forms of feelings for you and decides to keep to himself. This is one of the signs he doesn’t love you anymore.

What this does to the relationship is to slowly kill things and make things boring.

If you’re experiencing this now, when was the last time he held your hands while you strolled together? However, even when you try to reach out to hold his hands or spice things up a little, he blatantly refuses.

This can affect a woman emotionally and leave her devastated.

 

15.  He Stops Consulting You

signs he doesn't love you anymore

Why is she your wife or girlfriend if she can’t give her opinion about things? Has your man stopped seeking your thoughts on matters that concern the relationship? This may indicate one thing and it is what most women don’t like to hear.

It hurts more when you give your opinion and he replies with, “it’s not needed here, woman!”

Before this new him, anything he wanted to do meant you had a say and it was always valued.

He keeps you at bay and sees nothing wrong because the feelings of togetherness he once felt for you are all in the past now. He’s just told you that you are not needed.

There are many signs to look out for but I just chose this ones because every now and then, you will find someone exhibiting them, once they are planning on ditching their partner.
