Men are not known to be the best break-up artists in the world.

As a matter of fact, and it’s definitely something I’m embarrassed to admit, I’m terrible at it myself.

It’s one of the hardest things to do because you just don’t want to break her heart, so what do most men do in this situation? Well, we give you signs so you can break up with us.

signs he wants to end relationshipOne time, I was with somebody for awhile and I knew the relationship was over for quite some time, so I kept giving her all these signs and she just never picked up on them. She was ultra stubborn and I guess she just loved me, and I was young and stupid and well, a chicken.

But, I’m going to reveal to you now some of the signs that mean he’s ready to end it but can’t do it himself. These are the sure signs that your man is ready to break up with you:

1. No more sexual spontaneity.

That hasn’t happened in so long, you don’t even know what it is anymore. The times you have sex is when you oops, bump into each other in the middle of the night and actually give into that urge.

Most of the time, he’s on his laptop in bed and you’re on your laptop on the other side of bed and you go to sleep without much fanfare at all, and you can pretty much count the days and months since the last time you had sex. Once the sexual spontaneity is done and gone, he’s usually out the door emotionally, too.

2. He doesn’t really care what you’re wearing anymore.

He used to say how great you look and now, well, you could put on that same itty bitty little black dress and guess what happens? He says absolutely nothing. It’s no different than him seeing his favorite action figure or action star in the video game that he plays.

3. He’s hiding his phone a lot more.

Whenever a text goes off, his eyes quickly light up and dart over to the phone because he doesn’t want you to see. He doesn’t want you to see exactly what has appeared on his screen.

You know that little text message that comes across the screen that says who it’s from? He’s deleted that function from his phone so you don’t know who is texting.

4. He’s only showering when you’re not home.

You used to shower together or he would shower in the morning and you’d be able to watch him. Now, he showers when you’re not there or he actually locks the bathroom door. Why is he doing that?

Well, remember the sex you’re not having? He’s relieving himself from any tension he might be feeling. Basically, he’s masturbating in the shower so he doesn’t have to have sex with you.

5. Whenever you go out to dinner, you become one of those couples.

You know that couple. The ones that never really talk to one another.

You just kind of ignore each other while you’re sitting in restaurants.

6. He used to care when you came home at night, or he wanted you to text him before you went to bed.

Now, he just tells you he’ll see you on Tuesday, and it’s Thursday.

The texts don’t come in as frequent, the phone calls are no longer there. Do you get the point? You’re close to being broken up with. A man will do the exact opposite that he did when he was courting you. I call it the anti-courting rules.

He will stop courting you the entire time until you literally say, “Hey is there something wrong?” Or maybe, “We need to break up.”

I know, men are chicken. But, you know what, when you can see the signs on the wall, maybe you can save yourself six or seven months of conversations with friends trying to figure out how to save a relationship that should no longer be saved.
