Do you think your partner has been acting differently? Do you feel like they’re not as interested in the relationship? That might be worrying you. If your partner is acting strange and distancing themselves, they may not be as invested in the relationship.
To figure out what to do, you need to know if they really lost interest or if you’re just thinking that. Knowing the signs of losing interest can help you understand.
1. Your partner picks on every little mistake of yours
When your partner starts nitpicking every little mistake you make, it is clear that their feelings for you have changed. Instead of understanding you and handling things with patience, they seem more interested in finding faults in you – this shift in their behavior should tell you that they are no longer in love with you.
2. They’ve stopped making an effort
A strong relationship needs work from both sides. It could be planning special nights out or making up after disagreements; it’s how people show they care. If your partner has stopped making an effort, it could mean they’re considering leaving. Ignoring important dates or not caring about special times might be their way of saying they’re ready to move on.
3. Your partner keeps physical distance
If your partner stops hugging, kissing, or showing affection, they might be getting emotionally distant. When they’re less physically close, it could mean their feelings are changing.
4. They spend time away from home
Your partner is spending more time with friends and less with you. They’re coming home late from work and not sharing weekends or holidays with you and your family. This might mean they’re growing emotionally distant, which could signal a shift in your relationship.
5. They’ve stopped talking about a future with you
You and your partner used to dream about your future together, from getting married and having kids to living together and traveling the world. But now, those discussions have stopped. It’s normal to feel uneasy about the future, but if your partner is avoiding these talks, it’s a sign you should ask them why.
6. They threaten to leave you
Playful teasing is fine, but if your partner talks about leaving you or makes breakup jokes, they might be considering it. And if they use threats of breaking up during arguments, they might not be fully committed to the relationship.
7. They pick fights with you
All couples have disagreements, but if small fights often turn into big ones, it’s not good. While fights can happen because of other stuff, if there’s no clear reason, your partner might be using drama to find a way out of the relationship.
8. They cut back on their communication
You call, no answer. You text, no reply. If your partner is decreasing your usual communication, it’s worth questioning why. When someone is unsure about a relationship, they often start to reduce how much they talk to their partner.
9. They separate the financial accounts
Have you seen any strange behavior in your spouse’s finances? It’s okay to have a personal bank account, but if they’re hiding money and not explaining why, it’s suspicious. This might suggest they’re thinking about leaving the relationship and aren’t content anymore.

Hello, mostly of the sign you mentioned is happening right now in my relationship.
Does this also happen when your partner is pregnant can hormones cause this as well
I’m married but my husband and I are at least 5 of the 8. We have been married for 6 yrs and together for 10. But it I’ve suspected him of messaging other women and I was right. Found messages in his phone. He even lied to one about me knowing he was doing it. I messaged her and needless to say that was the end of that. When I have questioned him on things like this he says oh we’ve been friends forever. But I check and it a big fat no. He was talking on the phone to a women as he was coming home and he told me it was his sister. The next day his sister called me and I asked her about it and she said she never talked to him the day before.
Some facts is happen to my husband , we have talk and discuss and we both try to work together now , it seems good and improving .
I would tell him he’s got to go. No one is worth my happiness.
You make your happiness, not others. Don’t depend on another person for that & if you’re in a relationship solely b/c of that feeling you’re bound to be let down
this is true to my wife & I of 22 years. I feel the distance & have noticed her recent actions indifferent to what she’s proclaimed of her faithfulness, that “it’s all on me”, when she’s befriended several men on her job. Whereas despite lack of affectionate towards me, her “homies” get to hug my wife after not seeing her, for a day. she barely greets me with admiration & consistently embraces “her” dogs, arriving home from a job she hardly comes home from, being exhausted while disclosing how much she doesn’t work, exuberant in going to bingo, now denying my device access to our Cashapp, though it’s in my name. I no longer receive transaction notices.
Despite her depression from the loss of her mother 2 years ago, she finds refuge in being around others & no solitude in me, nor comfort in our marriage
“I’m not in love you. I’m not feeling you. we’re not compatible. you’re just jealous. You & I don’t have the same goals. your D doesn’t work. you’re not my type. it’s none of your business. i do whatever i want, when i want, with who i want. you’re not my father. i need my space. we never go anywhere. you’ve never been a protector. you live to f**k with my day. you need to gain more. you’re not the same. we ought to go our separate ways, yet stay married. etc”
I am HURTING right now.
i am permanently disabled, with a desire to work, yet am restricted with constant employment denials.Have worked, yet having surgical procedures every other year since 2005. i want to love & be loved by her & no one else.
Always wanted to be the provider.
It sounds like your wife has become selfish, which is the #1 cause for a divorce! She’s also harsh because she’s not considering your feelings when she expresses her thoughts. I wonder how she would feel if you began doing the same things with other women? Either way, I don’t believe she meant her vows of “through sickness and in health” unfortunately! I believe she has a character flaw. It seems like you still really love her. I’d consider praying for God to change her heart. Also ask her about the reasons she fell in love with you in the first place and help her think back to those days so she remembers who you really are. If she can still see you as that man it could bring back the love. Besides that, it sounds like she needs a ride awakening to see that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. Some people have to find that out the hard way! Let someone else break her heart and see that betraying her husband isn’t going to make her life better! I would focus on building a support system for yourself of others who care for you during this time. Praying for you! 🩵
I think I’m involved with a Narcissist, which makes sense because he was brought up by one. This mental health condition makes it hard to see if this relationship is ending or needs medical/counseling help
So what do you do when your spouse has you completely financially stuck and you have no choice but to stay until you can work again..I broke my hips 6 months ago and I’m still healing.. I’m a prisoner…
