10 Signs Your Boyfriend Will Break Up With You

Relationships are not exactly predictable, but as humans, most times we give little clues and signs that reflect just how we feel about something. This includes the relationship we have with the people around us. 

Although the signs are not always voluntary, they are still valid, as they are mostly as a result of our deepest feelings and emotions. From micro facial expressions to verbal expressions, human beings are bound to express how they feel about something whether voluntarily or involuntarily.

Take, for example, a man and a woman in a wonderful relationship full of excitement. They will both show signs of how they feel in the relationship, and this could be in the form of affection, sacrifices, sometimes even mild jealousy is a sign that two people care about each other deeply. 

Once there is a slight change in these signs, it could mean a problem.

Now let’s talk about men and their tell signs when they are about to quit on you. Unlike women, men are not always very vocal about their feelings in a relationship. This means even when they are done with you, they would rather keep acting it out like nothing is wrong, leaving you to find out about what is going on all by yourself.

Sometimes, a man would already be in a new relationship while you as the woman are busy tying your best to fix that sudden change of attitude you noticed. Sometimes the only notice you get is nagging, sulking, ghosting, or unending arguments before he finally decides to break things up. 

Although one can never be completely certain about it, when your partner suddenly starts to get passive-aggressive with you or starts to avoid spending time with you, it usually means something is up. Chances are he is slowly detaching himself from you so he can leave you for good. 

So here are ten signs that your boyfriend will break up with you.

He Is No Longer Affectionate 

If a man suddenly stops being affectionate towards you in a relationship - it is definitely a sign that something is going on. Men are usually crazy about showing affection in many ways to their partners in a relationship. Whether it is being overly protective or going the extra mile to satisfy your various needs as a woman, men like to show that they care by doing various things to show the level of their affection. 

A change in affection is usually as a result of something much deeper than just an ordinary change, it could mean he is going through something as men also love to hide their problems, however when it is not a personal problem, the only reason men suddenly stop being affectionate is when they are done with the relationship. To get the truth about this, pay attention to how he cares for you.

He No Longer Wants To Go Out With You 

Whenever this happens without explanation, it is usually for no good reason. A man’s decision to start shoving aside your date plans and hangout plans is usually a sign that he is just about done with the relationship, especially a man who used to love to take you out on dates and show you off to everyone. 

Men are territorial in nature; hence they love to show their women off in many more ways than you can imagine, whether it is a movie date or enjoying a sunny day at the beach. Men love to go out with their partners. 

So when a man suddenly starts to avoid going out with you or starts to avoid being seen with you in public, it is because he is done with the relationship, and he does not see value or excitement in being with you anymore. 

Also, sometimes it could mean that someone else is in his life or that he is now interested in someone else, and he does not want to risk being seen with you.

Suddenly Starts Being Absent-Minded Around You 

This means his mind is always somewhere else when he is with you. If your boyfriend suddenly starts to space out on you while you are together, it could either mean that he is genuinely worried about a personal problem or that he is really not interested in being around you or being with you anymore. 

Usually, when it happens repeatedly, the reason is the latter. A person does not simply forget the presence of their partner when they are together unless something is going seriously wrong, so if your boyfriend keeps being absent-minded repeatedly around you, you might want to prepare your mind for the possibility of him leaving you.

Suddenly Starts To Argue With You About Everything 

If your man suddenly starts to argue with you over everything, he is about to leave you. Many relationship experts agree that a healthy relationship requires patience and understanding, so if your boyfriend suddenly stops understanding you and would rather argue his way out of the conversation you are having, then he is really not interested in you anymore. 

A man and woman in a relationship despite their personal differences will find a way to make compromises to make each other happy. This means they will both find common ground on issues that could lead to arguments or tension between them. 

However, when a man is done in a relationship, all that patience gets thrown out of the window, so he will argue more and have little or no tolerance for things that could be easily settled.

Stops Making You A Priority 

If you are no longer his priority, then you no longer hold any value to him, and he just might be planning to leave you. 

When we care for something or someone, we prioritize them in every way possible. However, when a man stops prioritizing his woman, it is either because there is someone else in his life or he is just about done with you as his woman, and he does not know to tell you yet. 

It is simple really, whatever you hold dear to your heart, will get special treatment in your plans compared to other things. 

You might want to ask “How do I know if he is truly no longer prioritizing me?” The answer to this question is simple: check the things he says to you and his actions. Most times, you can tell that you are no longer a priority by the things he is doing. 

If he stops considering you as a factor when he is making decisions, especially decisions that are bound to affect you, then he is no longer making you a priority in his life, and he is most likely going to break up with you soon.

Incessant Nagging About Everything You Do 

This is usually very obvious, a man who has been complementing your body will suddenly start nagging about how you look or how you carry yourself. It is usually a sign that he is no longer satisfied with you, and he is probably getting ready to leave you. 

Bear in mind that this nagging is not an occasional thing; it is something that will repeatedly happen over littlest things, especially things that he did not use to complain about. 

Sometimes that nagging happens when you are not alone. He might decide to openly criticize you in the presence of your friends or his friends, and sometimes he might yell at you for an unnecessary reason or directly antagonize your opinion in a situation. 

All these are signs that he is no longer satisfied with you, and he is about to leave you.

Avoids Talking About Future Plans With You 

When a man is in love with you, he will start to include you in his plans for the future, but when he is about to break up with you, he will start to shrug off every conversation that is related to future plans. 

For example, the way a man who still loves you and wants to be with you will respond to you when you mention your future plans will be different from that of a man that does not see you in his nearest future will. 

Asides from trying as much as possible to be indecisive about future plans, sometimes he will try to avoid the topic by bringing up a completely different conversation, all these is because he is trying to avoid being caught in a lie since he knows he will break up with soon. 

This also affects the decision he takes, maybe you both had plans of moving to a new state or city in the nearest future, you will suddenly notice that whenever you mention it, he will try to avoid it or he may even tell you that he no longer thinks it is a good idea for him to move with you to the new state.

He Starts To Point Out How Different You Both Are 

When your boyfriend suddenly starts to point out to you that you are both different or that you have different views about things, you might want to get prepared because it usually means he is about to break up with you. 

Pointing out the difference in your beliefs and way of life means that he has stopped believing that both of you are compatible. Sometimes, men do not say it directly; he may to choose to tell you that he feels he is not good enough for you or that he feels that you deserve better. 

Ordinarily, you would think he is being appreciative of having you. Still, in reality, he is carefully giving you hints that he does not believe that the relationship can work and that he will have to leave you soon. 

Asides from pointing out personal beliefs, men sometimes complain about the difference in the family background and choice of friends when they are about to leave. 

You would be able to see that they are all just flimsy excuses because they usually do not complain about these differences until they start to feel like quitting.

He Starts Ghosting On You 

To understand this completely, let us talk about what it means to ghost someone. 

Urban Dictionary defines ghosting as the act of avoiding someone until they get the picture and stop contacting you. 

So, if your boyfriend suddenly starts to go days or weeks or maybe even months without making any communication with you, he is ghosting you. 

To know if the boyfriend is ghosting you, pay attention to his reason for being away. Most times, the reasons are usually not tangible or serious enough to avoid contact for so long. Especially in this age where it is so easy to send a text or a mail, he would rather avoid you instead of contacting you and when you try to make contact with him, he will most likely read your message and not respond or maybe ignore it without reading it at all.

He Suddenly Starts To Mention That He Feels The Need To Focus More On His Life 

This is probably one of the most obvious reasons and maybe even the most painful one because he will literally make you feel like you are some sort of problem in his life. 

It usually starts when you notice that he is pulling away and you decide to ask him what is wrong, he will probably reply to you by telling you that he feels like he needs to work harder or focus more on work or school because he feels like he is not doing well enough in his personal life. 

The truth is that most times, relationships do not stop people from being progressive or successful, it is usually just an excuse for them to ghost you or go days without talking to you or relating with you in general. If your boyfriend starts to give you this excuse as the reason why he has not been available, he is most likely detaching himself from you before he finally breaks up with you.
