14 Signs He's Probably Gonna Break Up With You -- Sorry!

Have you noticed unusual behavior in your boyfriend? Has he stopped tagging you in funny memes? Does he come home and immediately hop in the shower? He hasn't been acting like himself and you're not sure what is going on. Usually it's just the little things that disguise something very big like a break up. Sometimes these signals are even intentional, he may be sending you cues that he no longer is feeling the relationship or he may be purposefully acting like a complete dick so that your feelings towards him change. While statistics show that women are more likely to end a relationship than to get dumped (probably because we write articles like this) it doesn't hurt to recognize the signs. Or you may want to prepare yourself for when he says: “we need to talk.” Get ready to call your ex and ruin your entire life after one girl's night out. Here are fourteen signs that he's probably going to break up with you:

14 He Changes His Look

Have you noticed your beau looking a little or a lot different? Maybe he got a new hair cut after years of getting the same and he's starting to look like a One Direction reject. Or maybe he's starting to dress a little bit different. Maybe he's been hitting the gym a lot more and you've started to notice his lean bod. Either way you've noticed his style changing for the better or maybe the worse. This could be an indication that he wants to change his life a bit and you not being in it might be apart of that change. This could also imply that he's got some outside influences. He might be spending time with someone else and this other person's opinions may be affecting the way he looks. If this change seems sudden and drastic you might want to start rethinking things or prepare yourself.

13 He's Not Affectionate

You've gone from spooning every night to waking up and needing a telescope to find your man sleeping on the other end of the bed. You've gone from having sex 5 times a day to not at all and you have to practically hold him down just to get a kiss. It's hard to give someone hugs and kisses when you cant stand the sight of their face anymore. If his affection for you has stopped its probably because he isn't into you anymore. Its very hard to fake love and a lot of times it's written all over their face. Physical actions are a large part of how someone feels for another person and body language can tell you a lot about how someone feels toward another person. Does it seem like he sits two seats away from you on the couch? Are you feeling more like his good friend rather than his girlfriend? These might be signs that he is ready to call it quits.

12 He Makes Excuses

If you notice him making more and more excuses he maybe making excuses to check out of your relationship. You might have started to ask him to do more activities with you or have a date night because you've sensed a change but he always provides you with an excuse. His foot hurts or he has a stomachache. He might say he has work to do or he's stressed. These types of excuses often mean he's just not into you. He may also be making excuses for his odd behavior. Excuses can also be a sign that he is no longer willing to put effort into your relationship. Essentially an excuse is a justification for something that someone doesn't want to do. So if he's making excuses for not spending time with you or showing affection its because he simply doesn't want to. Excuses often mean that a person might be dragging something out or buying themselves time for a decision that they want to make like breaking up with you.

11 He Picks Fights

It might seem like all you and your man do is fight. Does your love seem like a constant battle? Sit back and think about what you're fighting about and why. If you feel like majority of the arguments are initiated by him it may be because he is going to break up with you. Constant bickering is an excuse and an added reason to break up with someone. Or perhaps he's getting frustrated in the relationship and he's taking it out on you. He may not feel the need to mend things and apologize after fights either. Yes, of course every relationship has its ups and downs but if you find yourself fighting more often than you get a long the relationship may have gone sour. A fight also gives him reason to leave the house and leave you. A rocky relationship is the perfect reason for it to end.

10 He Has a Wandering Eye

It's completely normal for a guy even if he is taken to look at other women, but do you notice him staring a little more often than not? You should especially be concerned when he doesn't even try to be discreet about it and takes totally disregard for how his ogling will make you feel. He might be taking second looks so much that you might start to wonder if he's cockeyed. Staring at other women may be a sign that he's looking or interested in someone else. He may be curious to see what else is out there and he's considering getting back in the game. His up and down looks may cause you to feel insecure and that's normal but when you ask him about it does he make you feel reassured? If you answered no then might want to reevaluate your relationship. Looking at other women is harmless but staring is a big red warning sign. If a quick glance turns into a long gaze he may be reconsidering your relationship.

9 He Doesn't Listen

Do you feel like everything you tell your boo goes in one ear and out the other? Do you have to repeat things you're certain you've already told him? Does he ignore you when you start talking? Sure it may be normal for a guy to not retain as much information when you're talking to him but if he's turning the radio up when you start talking he's not even trying to listen. If he doesn't want to listen to you that means he just doesn't care… about you. If he isn't showing any interest in your stories or even your gossip, while yes its understandable why he may not want to listen to some of it but he should at the very least stop what he's doing and take time to listen to bits and pieces of your tales.

8 He Wants Space

Have you noticed him taking more and more time to himself? If your boyfriend tells you he wants space that could mean he wants space from you and he may be thinking about dumping you. He might tell you he's stressed and he needs to clear his head and just be alone. Hearing your partner utter these three little words can be heart wrenching “I need space,” he'll say and you may start to feel your head spinning and you'll assume the worst. While that may not always mean your steered straight for a break up it may be a huge caution sign. However, when he says he needs space something may be holding him back from actually breaking up with you but the thought might have crossed his mind. Men don't like to talk about heir problems as much as a woman, so taking space is a way for them to cope when things are bothering them.

7 He Wants Privacy

Does it seem as though your boyfriend wants a little more privacy than usual? Does he immediately put his phone down when you walk into the room? This might be a sign that he is being unfaithful or doing some things he doesn't want you to know about. Privacy is always a good thing especially in serious long-term relationships but if you've noticed he's requiring more privacy or he's displaying odd behavior when it comes to his personal space that may be a sign that he is hiding something. However, you shouldn't expect everything with you. Sharing passwords are an especially bad idea and this could cause serious issues in your relationship. It may seem like a sign of trust to share everything with your partner but this sharing too much can be extremely unhealthy. But if you've noticed him suddenly acting like he is a CIA agent that may be a reason for concern.

6 He's Always Hanging Out

Do you feel like your boyfriend is spending more time with his friends than he is with you? Does he cancel your plans to hang out with his boys? Spending time with your friends sans boyfriend or girlfriend is necessary in every relationship. “Girls” night and “boys” night should be expected. Relationships need trust and attention so if you've noticed him spending way more time with the squad he may have lost interest in you. If he's not putting a lot of focus on your relationship and it almost seems as though he's living a double life you might want to be weary. If your boyfriend is constantly hanging out with his friends this may be a sign that he is trying to live the single life.

5 He's Never Around

Does it seem like your boyfriend is always missing in action? Do you practically have to hunt him down on a regular basis? You've started to wonder what is the point of even being in your relationship if he's never there. If your boyfriend genuinely cares about you and he will make and or find time for you and if he's not putting in effort to be with you it might mean that he isn't worried about loosing you. This also could mean that he isn't taking your relationship seriously anymore. When a guy is invested in a relationship and cares about a girl he will find a way to show her that he cares. If your man is always taking vacations from your relationship he is putting other things before you and if he doesn't make time for you he probably doesn't like you that much and you probably shouldn't want to be with him anyway. Be glad that he's going to break up with you or do it first!

4 He Seems Annoyed

Do you get the feeling that he's annoyed or that you're annoying him? Does he literally tell you that you're annoying? This could be an indication that he doesn't care about you as much as he once did. When you're in the honeymoon stages of an authentic relationship he accepts your flaws and annoying habits because he truly cares about you, but as the love starts to fade he may show annoyance toward your unique habits because he doesn't care as much as he once did. An annoying vibe may also be a result of an argument. Your boyfriend might be showing agitation because he is feeling insecure. He might also be feeling insecure because he feels like you're out of his league, so he will subconsciously make attempts to make you feel insecure also and he's a jerk. It also could be as simple as that he is truly bothered by you and you should be thankful that he is probably gonna break up with you.

3 He Flirts

Some people are naturally flirtatious but there should always be boundaries when you're in a relationship. Does he make physical contact when he's flirting with other people? If you are taking a front seat to his flirting and it is very clear that he is pushing the limits, this should be a forewarning that your relationship is near it's end. Is he putting his hand on her leg? Are they making too much eye contact? Is the conversation dragging on way too long? You've been warned. If your guy is flirting it could mean that he is interested in someone else. If you've already had a conversation with him about his excessive flirtatious behavior and he continues to do it then he doesn't really care about how it makes you feel. This behavior could also be a signal that he wants you to see because he wants you to know that he is no longer interested in you.

2 He Doesn't Text

Remember when he would text you all day everyday? You could always expect a text goodnight and another one in the morning welcoming you to a new day. When communication between you and your boyfriend starts to dwindle it may be because he's going to break up with you. When he stops texting you he isn't putting in any effort towards your relationship. Even when a guy is super busy and or stressed he will take a few minutes to send you a text if he truly cares about you and your relationship. Sure we can't all text back 0.5 seconds after we receive the message but if it gets to the point where you don't hear from him for days you may feel concerned. This could signify the fact that he is slowly checking out of your relationship and also going to break up with you, buh-bye!

1 He Wants To Take a “Break”

Anytime a guy says he wants to take a break he really means he wants to break up, he's just getting you prepared for a actual break up. Anytime you even hear the word “break” in a relationship that should be an immediate warning sign, you should just see red lights in your brain flashing. Taking a break is like the gateway drug to getting dumped. Just keep in mind that “break” is the first word in break up and also the first step in a break up. When a guy says he thinks you should go on a break it's so that he doesn't have to hit you all at once with heart wrenching news. He either can't handle the emotion that comes along with breaking up with someone or he somehow in his mind has decided that going on a break first is a more civil route and he's probably thinking about dating other people if he isn't already. He's also probably hoping that during this so called break you will just miraculously forget about him and move on and he won't have to actually break up with you because he can't face you and the pain that he is about to cause.
