In the beginning we love almost everything about our partner. Over time, however, that changes as we start to see the flaws too. But in some relationships it goes much deeper. When you start asking, as many do, “What are the signs he doesn’t love me anymore?” there’s clearly something bigger going on.
All relationships go through natural ups and downs.
Often these fluctuations resolve themselves with time. Sometimes, however, these changes can become permanent and cause for concern.
If you're one of the many women who want to know if there are signs he doesn't love you anymore, you’re not alone.
So, how do you know if the changes in the love you're experiencing are normal or a problem?
It can be tricky, but there are signsthat will tell you if he doesn’t love you anymore. Recognizing them, however, requires us to first look at how someone loves us in the beginning.
Take a look at this post from my social media page about how to know if someone loves you.
Think back to the beginning of your relationship and see if any of the following sounds familiar.
At the beginning we,
It's natural for the way we love our partner to change over time.
We may not feel the same way later in the relationship as we did in the beginning. We may not be as forgiving or understanding either.
And, arguably, in the beginning nearly all of us were a little too carefree in how easily we blindly loved, because early love can make us act more than a bit naïve and foolish.
As time goes on that naïve phase fades and we see our partner more clearly. This is a good thing.
Loving someone with blinders on means building your relationship on a house of cards – eventually it will collapse.
But if most or all of the signs of love and appreciation disappear, that's one of the warning signs he may not love you anymore (here are more signs your husband doesn't love you).
So, before you start looking for signs that he doesn’t love you anymore, think about what it was like when you felt certain of his love.
Are those things all gone?
If you think those loving things are gone, or if you’re feeling uncertain, it’s time to look a little closer and see if there are other signs he may have fallen out of love with you.
Women are often much more in-tune with changes in feelings within a relationship than are men.
Because the changes can be subtle, they can be excused away easily. This can make it hard for anyone to spot, let alone accept, the signs he doesn't love you anymore.
Before we look at some specific signs, however, it’s important to recognize that just as relationships change over time, expressions of love do too.
As easy as it is to explain away the lack of loving gestures, it can be just as easy to read too much into the lack of them as well.
Sometimes it's just the normal ups and downs of a busy daily life can cause us to overlook and forget to do the small things we used to do that expressed our love.
However, if you’re truly concerned that he doesn’t love you anymore then there are certain signs to watch for – see if any of these seem familiar:
There can be understandable reasons for any of these unloving behaviors, so they need to each be considered in in the context of your entire relationship.
If you're seeing signs in your relationship that concern you, it’s important to remember that it takes two to tango as they say.
Before you sound the alarm and begin pondering things like,
take a step back and spend some time considering your own behavior.
Are you displaying any of the same behaviors?
One thing that’s true in all relationships is that we react to each other.
Angry or dismissive behavior by one person is often met with angry and dismissive behavior by the other.
So, it’s important to make sure you aren’t actually part of the problem before you determine that it’s all him.
If these behaviors become persistent, however, and you're confident you're doing your part, then it’s possible you’re actually seeing signs he doesn't love you anymore.
That doesn’t mean that you can’t get the love back, however. It will just take time, effort, and work on both of your parts.
It can also help to get the viewpoint of an unbiased, objective, trained person when you're trying to make this important determination, so consider couples counseling before you decide it’s over.
Ending your relationship isn’t a decision to make alone.
Feeling like you’re seeing signs he doesn't love you anymore can be extremely painful.
There’s nothing easy about feeling like the love you once shared has deteriorated or is gone. So, if you think you’re seeing signs he may not love you anymore, keep the following things in mind:
Most of all, remember there’s still hope. Seeing signs he doesn’t love you anymore doesn’t mean he can’t love you again.

Wow. Scary read for me. I have a quiet husband (unless he's angry) that doesn't my communicate much. His new thing is not having intercourse with me. He wants things done other ways but doesn't want to do that. I have health problems that he doesn't seem to give me much caring for. He isn't being affectionate toward me either. Only touches I get are when he wants sex- (but not intercourse). It's exhausting. I am a person with great emotional depth and I'm having trouble existing in a relationship with zero emotional intimacy. I can't even connect it within a sex act anymore. It's sad. Perhaps he just doesn't love me.
Been with my partner 7yr he got diagnosed with ms 2yr ago we have a 4yo, he doesn't tell me I'm beautiful, everything is always my fault, says I'm lazy gets me to go to the shop at nyt, i sort everything for him but worse of all says he cares for me more than our daughter, has lost my trust recently, yet accused me for cheatin for yrs, really lost and don't know where I stand!! Am I just his PA or does he love me.
Zoe, This sounds more complicated than can be addressed here in this limited forum - MS is a hard thing to learn you have, and can be overwhelming for your family. Seek out professional counseling if you need some support, and see if he will go with you. -Kurt
my husband is never here literally, he is down in Puerto rico with his brother at the moment we moved in and he has barely been with me, I keep asking for a divorce and he wont comply. I am miserable and want this to end...I am done...
If approved, please use this edited version of my earlier comment as there were some typos and redundancies. Thank you.
He used to be affectionate, take me out, meet his friends and family, buy me flowers, mostly, he told me he loved me all the time, everywhere. He texted me "I love you", he wrote cards that said he loved me "with a passion", he called me just to say he loved me, he told me on Facebook that he loved me, he showed his friends and family he loved me. Now he's ashamed of me. He broke up with me after something bad happened. We got back together after I begged him to come back. I couldn't live without him, I was so down I was trying to kill myself. I let myself go. He and his friends put me down and he doesn't defend me. He told them he settled for me because he was lonely, and he just wants to make it work bc I'm pregnant. I'm an easy option. He doesn't refer to me by name or relation; I'm "the mother." It's degrading, dehumanizing. If he understands he doesn't want to admit it to me. He gets angry when I cry about it. This is sad for me but he tells me I'm mad and that it makes me ugly. It's easy to see I'm sad. It's disheartening that he won't validate my feelings and calls me ugly when he used to call me beautiful all the time. I haven't heard that in at least 2.5 years. I don't know what to do now that we have a baby. I feel ugly when I used to be pretty. I used to feel like a queen with him because he was proud to be with me.
I have been begging for my husband to love me for years. He says he does but it's never been there. I am starting to not love him anymore at all. He just keeps denying what I am saying and making promises of what he will do but never doing it. I am dying inside and so lonely. It's ruining my life. I have also tried to leave and he does this really huge thing where he pleads for me to stay but then everything is the same. I feel so overwhelmed. I can't stop crying even right now. I have tried everything to keep loving him without receiving anything besides a place to sleep and occasional dinners out with the kids. I just don't know what else to do. I am so tired.
You may want to consider that he needs you rather than just wants you. What is your financial situation like? Is he dependent? Does he feel insecure about himself? That could mean he is worried he would not find someone else so he stays with you. My ex was like this as well. There was no love where he claimed there was...
