Being dumped by someone you truly love is painful. But more often than not, there are frequent signs and red flags that break up is imminent before he actually says the words. Even when you’ve seen the signs, it’s not easy to accept that someone you’ve been loving is about to leave you, especially when they make the breakup process so easy. The manner of the break up also determines how soon you’ll find closure.
While some men are decent and gentlemanly when ending a relationship, others keep you in the relationship until the day you see their wedding photos on Facebook. Also, most men will try and make you end the relationship yourself by showing a non-committal approach. No matter how you’re dumped, the pains of conducting the breakup rituals of cutting photos, erasing messages, unfollowing on Instagram and blocking on Facebook is too excruciating to be explained in words. Here are 7 signs that a breakup is heading your way.
1. He suddenly stops checking up on you
If getting him to check up on you is becoming more difficult than keeping up with a weight loss program then chances are that he is trying to replace you. It’s been stated over time that people make time for their loved ones no matter how little it is. Perhaps he is beginning to spend more time with his friends and cook up excuses of work pressure. If you discover that his work is not breathing down his neck, chances are that he just wants to end the relationship but lacks the courage to tell you.
2. He keeps picking arguments.
If every little discussion leads to an argument then signs are that he wants to break up. He might even go to the extent of bringing up long forgotten issues that were resolved a long time ago. If he brings up random things to argue about, just know that he is getting fed up. Things like who left the light on or who ate the last slice of Pizza, you should wonder what’s really going on. Continually choosing to have the same fight over and over again could mean that he’s trying to validate his reason for thinking about breaking up because the two of you have started fighting a lot.
3. You feel alone even when you’re together.
Psychologist says that loneliness doesn’t necessarily mean one is lonesome, but it is the inabilities to share and communicate things that are real to people who care about you the most. Feeling alone in a relationship is probably the saddest part of being in a relationship.

If your man is making you feel single, it’s one of those major signs he wants to break up with you, even if he hasn’t said a word in that context. Being in a relationship should make you feel, without a doubt, like you’re a part of something. If that’s not happening, something’s very, very wrong and you should be worried
4. Nothing he used to like is working anymore.
Perhaps he doesn’t even eat his favorite meal after you have spent so much time to prepare it. You play his favorite song and buy him his favorite beer but he abandons it to go drink with the boys. If nothing you used to do to make him happy is working anymore, things might be over already.
5. His friends have been ignoring you.
Most times you won’t notice that your partner is not into you anymore until his friends start to ignore you. He’s probably already told his friends that he is done with you and they decide to start cutting you off so you don’t get any information from them. If his friends start distancing themselves from your jollof rice, just know that your time might be up.
6. He stops texting or calling you back
This is common. “ Sorry bae I forgot to text you, I had a low battery”. However, when relationships are new and still exciting, it seems like you and your partner can’t get enough of one another, so you are constantly texting each other throughout your day – much to the annoyance of your boss and colleagues in the office. If your partner suddenly stops responding to your messages or won’t pick up the phone when you call, it is very likely that he’s starting to feel less excited at the prospect of talking to you.

He may also change his last seen on WhatsApp so you won’t know when he is online. His Facebook posts are no longer public but set to a preferred audience.
7. No sexual intimacy.
When he stops noticing that fine lingerie you put on at night then you should be worried. Sex is a major part of a relationship. But if you try to get things going and he’s really not into it, then something is definitely wrong. If he has not lost his job or impregnated his side chick then you should be worried. Refusal to have sex or an absence of initiation on his part are major signs he wants to break up. Except he is undergoing some sort of spiritual awakening.
