1. They are not paying attention

Sometimes it can be as subtle as the person just isn’t listening to you: you try to engage them in conversation and they are repeatedly distant or relaxed. It means you’re not getting that sense of companionship’.

2. They’ve stopped advocating for your needs

If your significant other seems to have no interest in communicating to you what you are feeling, you may be disengaging from the relationship.

Let’s say your partner is typically jealous, but hasn’t expressed that feeling lately. Not expressing jealousy can reduce conflict but it can also indicate a lack of interest.

3. Won’t discuss the future

Sure, this can manifest itself in a refusal to discuss big things, like a house move or a wedding. It could seem like making excuses if you want to talk about something smaller in the future, like booking a holiday for next year, or attending a wedding in the summer.

4. They are not willing to own your anger

Instead of having direct conversations, your partner may act out of character. They don’t have open convos with you, but instead act differently than usual. Or things they used to enjoy doing, such as going out on dates or cooking, stop.
