Here are some signs that your partner might be falling out of love.

You Don’t Talk About The Future
Talking about a hypothetical future together is one of the best signs of a healthy relationship. When did you last fantasize about buying a house or starting a family together? Try to initiate the discussion and see how he reacts. If he immediately changes the topic, it may be a red flag.
You Are Not One Of His Priority
Are you still one of your partner’s main priorities? Of course, this doesn’t mean that you should remain the only focus in his life. It’s fine for him to see his male and female friends. However, he should also be able to plan time with you. We can all make time for the people we love, no matter how busy we are.
The Romance Has Died
When was the last time he surprised you with a bouquet of flowers? The last time he invited you out for dinner? It’s natural after years together to let go of romance, but this doesn’t mean it is ok. Remind him how much you love these little gestures and see if he changes.
No Physical Intimacy
When men lose emotional interest, they often relinquish their physical interest in you. Think about these questions. Do you tend to be way less intimate than before? When did you last cuddle watching a movie or before going to sleep? Are you always the one initiating sex?
He Is Not Interested In Your Life
The opposite of love is not hate, as we are often taught. It’s disinterest. When you love someone, you want to know everything about them: What was their childhood like? What’s their favorite dish? How did their day go? Is your partner generally disinterested in your life? Then he may no longer be into you.
Communication Decline
Pay attention to your communication. Are you still joking and laughing together? Can you talk for hours while enjoying a nice walk or sipping from a steaming mug of tea? Whenever we lose interest in a person, we often cut communication off.
He Only Changed With You
Sometimes, all these signs may be an indicator of other issues. For instance, your partner may be experiencing work-related stress. So, how can you tell that you are the cause of these sudden changes? Check whether his attitude changes only with you or everyone else, such as relatives and friends.
It Feels One-Sided
Does the relationship feel one-sided? Are you the only one initiating sex? Are you the only one proposing to spend time together? Are you the only one trying to start conversations while eating together? Of course, these are all signs that he may move on soon.
Changed In Body Language
How is his body language with you? Only a few months ago, you used to hold hands in public and cuddle on the couch for hours. Now, however, physical contact is almost taboo. Try to talk about the issue with your partner and see whether there is a general disinterest behind this change.
Sudden Bursts Of Anger
Sudden bursts of anger may also indicate that he is falling out of love with you. You may think your behavior may cause these unexpected reactions, but they are probably just the symptom of general unhappiness and dissatisfaction with your relationship.
No Flirt
Do you still flirt with one another? Do you go on dates together? How about a weekend getaway to keep the sparkle alive? Flirting always fades away after years together. It is your responsibility to keep it alive. If he doesn’t play along, it may be because he is losing interest in you.
No Compromises
Relationships are all about compromising and finding the middle ground. However, this becomes incredibly difficult when we no longer care about someone. Does your partner always get his way? Chances are he is not that into you anymore.
Better Appearance
A sudden change in appearance may be a massive red flag. If your partner suddenly wears expensive suits and spends hours grooming in the toilet, he may have an affair. If you suspect this, try to bring up the issue of cheating and see how he reacts. If he tries to change the topic, chances are he’s feeling guilty.
He’s Never Home
While some men are genuinely extroverted and highly social, notice sudden changes in the time spent outside your home. If he suddenly is always with his colleagues or friends, there is a good chance he simply doesn’t want to spend time with you. If this behavior persists, try to confront this issue with him.
Lack Of Compliments Or Expressions Of Love
Lack of compliments or expressions of love can signify fading affection because it decreases emotional engagement and appreciation. Compliments and verbal affirmations are key ways partners express love and make each other feel valued. When these positive affirmations become rare or stop altogether, it may suggest that the person is no longer as emotionally invested in the relationship.
Loss of Spark
Listen to your gut. Something is wrong if you feel like you and your partner no longer connect the way you did before. Do you still feel the electric energy you had when you first started dating? Does he still get excited after seeing you? Or do you feel like you aren’t on the same page, even when together? If there’s a sudden loss of spark, it might be because one partner is no longer engaging in the relationship like usual.
More For You
You now know the signs to watch out for to determine whether he still loves you or is ready to move on. Hopefully, it’s the former. If so, why not surprise him with a lovely homemade dinner to celebrate your love? Here are a few romantic table settings for the ultimate date.
