In relationships, sometimes it’s tough to know when things aren’t going well. If you’re noticing signs that your partner might want space or isn’t as invested, it’s essential to recognize them. Here, we’ll explore signs that could mean he wants you to back off and move on. Understanding these signs can help you figure out what’s best for you and your happiness in the long run.
1. He’s Unsure About His Feelings
Sometimes, when a guy is unsure about his feelings, it shows in his actions. You might notice he’s a bit distant or seems confused when talking about the relationship. He might send mixed signals, making you feel uncertain. In such cases, it’s important to give him space to figure out what he truly wants.
2. He Ignores Your Calls and Texts
When someone consistently ignores your calls and texts, it could mean they’re trying to create some distance. If you find yourself repeatedly reaching out and not getting a response, it might be a sign that he’s pulling away or doesn’t want to engage in conversation. It’s tough, but sometimes taking a step back is the best thing to do.
3. He Spends More Time with Friends Than You
If he suddenly starts prioritizing his friends over spending time with you, it might be a sign. It’s natural for partners to have their own space, but if you notice a significant change in how often he wants to hang out with you, it could indicate a shift in his feelings or priorities.
4. He is Always Busy
We’re all busy at times, but if he’s constantly using “being busy” as a reason not to spend time together, it might mean something deeper. It could indicate that he’s avoiding the relationship or trying to create distance. It’s essential to have open communication to understand what’s truly going on.
5. He Avoids Serious Conversations
If he avoids talking about the future or important relationship topics and feels uncomfortable, it could mean he’s not prepared or interested in a serious commitment. Avoiding these discussions might show he’s not thinking the same way you are about the relationship.
6. He Doesn’t Make Efforts to Resolve Issues
In a relationship, it’s really important to solve problems. If he keeps avoiding dealing with issues or doesn’t seem very interested in fixing things, it could mean he’s not committed to making things better. It might show that he’s not willing to work hard to keep the relationship going.
7. He Seems Emotionally Distant
When someone becomes emotionally distant, it can be a clear sign that they’re pulling away. If he’s noticeably detached, not sharing his thoughts or feelings, or seems disengaged, it could mean that he’s creating a barrier between you.
8. He Displays Disinterest in Your Life
If he shows little interest in your life, doesn’t ask about your day or seems disengaged when you talk about your interests or aspirations, it could indicate that he’s not invested in the relationship’s growth. Lack of interest in your life might signal that he’s moving away emotionally.

Being distant and mixed feelings with my man.. can’t help but think I’m just a convenience now.. I’m trying not to be so available anymore 😞 we’ve been going through some stuff for awhile now and nothing is changing. But the good times out weigh everything else. I love him but I think I’m losing him.
Same situation here .
I’m going thru the exact same thing. I just called it quits but now I am having second thoughts.
Me too
Same here, it’s hurt but i need to accept everything😔
Spot on. Ticked for all of them. Truth hurts like hell. You helped me see it clearly, so Thank you!
He hasn’t loved me for awhile.
Doesn’t answer my calls.
Move on and not wait around for him. Start by going out with other people like guys and hang out with girlfriends, but don’t tell him anything. Go live your own life even though it hurts. He’s busy with his own life and other issues that Maybe going on. He will come back to you if it’s meant to be, but drop everything to just be with him. Make him earn his way back to you. Making him chase you. Men don’t think like women
All this sign writing all over my man 😭 but it’s fine
I will get over it soon
I saw the sign and still denied it for the desperate hope that I have someone to stay and create home with as I sit here falling apart my world is crumbling as he has never chose me and even through2 yrs he has never wanted me obviously since every # here is exactly what he does so he’s just a imaginary person who is not what he is in the beginning and reflects a caring life but has no care for anyone else so why should I even care ? Why does it always seem like greener grass on the other side and leave what we had only to go back to prior as it rips the home apart and cause one to feel incomplete and unimportant? I don’t understand nor do I feel I will ever be the same or want to try because this is devastating as he can switch on me like nothing.
Same with me here suffer under this man over six years but he always acting on all this numbers indicated here, no lies is here my own acted like this all, now he treats me and my daughter but I’m trying to move on 😭😭
I am going thought this at the moment, 3 years of a good thing & now he just doesn’t reply or it’s always a one sentence message back. Then ignore me until I reach out to him but as of today it’s a no contact. He may not get it or reply, let along miss me or etc but it going to help me because I just don’t deserve this behavior from him.
AND when he does reply, it’s always “hun, sweety, sunshine or darling…”
Move on. If it’s meant to be it will be. This is the perfect time to focus on yourself and your needs. One of those needs should be to heal emotionally. One you get your emotions in check you’ll feel stronger. The next thing you should do is to create some new habits. The time that was spent with that person, replace it with a class, organizing your closet, watching a new TV series. Overtime, you will have occupied yourself in a way that brings you peace and contentment without them. Then when he/she calls, you will not want your peace disturbed by their uncertainty, lack of effort and the other 8 signs listed in the article. (This worked for me) Best wishes.
Hmmmmm…. Yep 🤷♀️🤪🤷♀️
Ignores
Distant
Not interested
My partner and I had an argument of a tub of yoghurt, then accused me of poisoning him and our daughter. I got upset, left the family home. The emotional abuse, financial abuse and psychological abuse kept on coming. He took our daughter out of school and she has been in his care till today. Gaslighting, narcissistic and the trauma is still coming through email n txt messages. I have shown the authorities > it’s a civil matter not criminal. There is history my partner has over 25 yrs wth previous relationships.
My daughter is OK, but sad. He has controlled her someways on when to talk. He took money out of our joint account, gave it to his lady friend. This lady friend is a work colleague of his and sometimes in the care of my daughter whilst he works. I spoke to my daughter this morning > she said daddy was in this lady’s bed thus Morning. She does this, she does that.
You forgot number 9 or the new number 1 that should be at the top of the list , constantly always asking him for money everyday. You actually already pushed him away, so there is no fixing it, once you have done that you might as well hit the road sister….Its also sign you should leave him alone and move on.
My ex told me if I find someone else I better hang on to them bc I deserve better
I’ve recently experienced all of this. But at the end do we get back together after we give him space? Or does he follow through when he tells you when we are making headway in life we would revisit our relationship? I’ll be honest I haven’t given him much space , I’ve been emotionally distraught, to the point I tell him he’s being selfish and he just tells me goodbye. He led me after our break off to believe there was hope. Now I feel like I messed up.
ladies I feel the same way hell go weeks with out texting nor calling me like he says he’s gotta make money but I have ended that have to be met it hurts I’m into sex and he says it’s not important bullshit
If a red blooded man says sex. Is not important what he is saying he isn’t into that intimacy with you. There are so many men out there would love an intimate relationship with a nice woman. Don’t despair. And don’t waste yourself on someone who doesn’t want you. Hang in by fingernails if you have to.
sex is important period.in any relationship especially if it’s important in the beginning.
I think this list without context is a recipe for disaster. If he is focused on goals which means he is temporarily exhibiting some of these signs it may mean he is stressing, overwhelmed or focused. Instead of making a snap decision, that could affect your relationship or marriage also consider what could be causing these actions.
when you know what is going on with them that this article is talking about, and you know what exactly going on with them and your constantly asking for a divorce and no matter what they ignore you like you don’t exist. one day they will give me my divorce and the woman he’s giving money to everyday he can just keep paying her. I want out and I do not want any kind of connection with them!!!!
