8 Signs He’s Bored Of The Relationship 

He spends more time on his phone. 

If you’re out at a restaurant for date night or for a cute brunch and he immediately pulls out his phone…. That’s not good. He should be present with you, not distracted by his phone. 

You no longer fight.

Fighting isn’t good, but occasional fights are normal. You two won’t agree on everything, and that’s to be expected. But if you get in a fight and he doesn’t even put in the effort to fight, he just walks away, then he’s probably checked out. 

…Or he fights with you over little things. 

Not fighting at all is just as bad as him picking a fight over unnecessary, little things. Let’s be honest, men can be dramatic at times. They’re more sensitive than women are. If he’s picking fights over little things that don’t matter, he’s probably just bored and trying to create some excitement. 

He stops putting in any effort. 

No more date nights. No more getting up to greet you at the door. No more going to your apartment for the weekend. No more gifting flowers or picking up your favorite snack at the grocery store. No spontaneous, romantic gestures. He just doesn’t try anymore. 

He doesn’t take an interest in anything anymore.

He doesn’t ask questions about you, what you’re doing, or how your day was. He doesn’t take you on dates or put in an effort to try new things. He’s become so bored he doesn’t even have the energy to try. 

He doesn’t give you compliments anymore. 

At the beginning of the relationship, he would give you compliments all the time, right? Maybe he actually noticed when you got your hair done or he liked the color you picked out at the nail salon. But as time has gone on, he just doesn’t compliment you anymore. It’s like he doesn’t even notice or care. 

The sex is off…or nonexistent. 

Maybe he is only excited about sex and wants to have it often. But even then, it still feels less intimate than you would like it to be. Something’s just off. Or maybe there’s no sex at all, no passion, no playfulness. It’s becoming more of a chore or a burden than something enjoyable and beautiful. 

He tells you he’s bored. 

If he’s really honest with himself and you, he’ll tell you how he feels. He’ll tell you that he’s bored and wants to change things up, or maybe even end things. But the only way you’ll know for sure is if you communicate.
