Even though you haven't noticed him getting secret messages at night and you don't argue, you can't shake the feeling that something is wrong.
All of us at some point would like to know what is in the hearts and minds of our partners. When we feel that everything is not as it should be, we look for signs why he is not satisfied in the relationship. That's when we wish someone would develop mind-reading technology.
When we find out that our worries are real, it's a painful realization, even if we had an inkling. But if we can notice the first signs of dissatisfaction in time, there is a chance that we will be able to maintain or improve the relationship. What should we pay attention to?
1. He is obsessed with new electronic toys
If you have a partner who has always been interested in new technological devices, an obsession with them is not necessarily a sign of alarm. But if he developed this enthusiasm only recently, it is possible that he is bored and looking for new ways of entertainment that have nothing to do with you.
2. They eat in silence
Shared meals were initially a great opportunity for them to get to know each other better, to share their wishes and goals, as well as their worries. After some time, however, the desire to exchange information began to decline. There's nothing wrong with that, everyone has bad days when they're not in a good mood and don't speak much. But if you're sitting and eating in painful silence with absolutely nothing more to say to each other, you can be sure that something is wrong.
3. Instead of talking, she says: "We have already discussed this."
Open communication is one of the most important conditions for a successful relationship or marriage. If your partner often repeats himself during the conversation "we have already discussed this" and he doesn't want to listen to you, it means that he doesn't care what you say to him and that he is not interested in your life. In a healthy relationship, your partner will listen to you, or at least try to!
4. Always talking about someone else
You know more about his colleague at work than about what happened to him at work. Constantly mentioning another woman in everyday conversation can be a sign that your partner is (un)consciously thinking about something new in life and that he is not satisfied with the current situation.
5. He often goes out with friends
Instead of spending time with you, he spends all his free time with his friends. Maybe he is unhappy in the relationship and wants to leave it at least for a short time.
6. He asks you too many questions
Lately, your partner has been constantly asking you questions and asking for your opinion on every little thing. Do you think he is trying too hard? Maybe he realized that you are stuck somewhere and that he needs to work harder to rekindle your relationship. This is great news. Go to him and talk about any problems.
