1. Gadget Hoarding
Has he recently cultivated a new obsession with acquiring all of the latest gadgets and electronics on the market? If he has always been a tech nerd then this might not be a red flag, but if the interest is new, then it could be an indicator that he is bored in the relationship and is looking for ways to entertain himself that don’t involve you. It might be hard to take, but it’s real and one of the biggest uncommon red flags that signal your partner is unhappy.
2. Dead Dining
When you first get together, dinner is a time full of conversation and fun, with lots of effort being put in to make the time spent together really special. If his effort around the dinner table has dropped significantly to the point that you are eating together in silence, then you can be sure that there is a problem of some sort.
3. “We’ve Been through This Already”
One of the tell-tale signs of your partner being over it is when he says, “we’ve been through this already,” during a discussion or disagreement, rather than being open enough to hear you out. If he doesn’t even have the energy to allow you to be an equal in a verbal exchange, then you know that the two of you aren’t meant for the long haul.
4. He’s Always Talking about Someone else
Do you know more about Tracey from the office than you ever wanted to? Does this mysterious work pal always end being involved in the stories that he tells you for one reason or another? This is a classic sign that another woman is always on his mind, and whether he knows it or not, by mentioning her all the time her is sending a signal that he isn’t happy with his current standings.
If you're looking to engage your partner in intriguing conversations, why not try some hypothetical questions for couples? These fun queries will not only keep the conversation lively but also stimulate deep thoughts and potentially reveal insights about each other's personality and thought processes.
5. More Silly Questions
On the other side of the coin, if you find that he has recently been asking you more inane questions than usual and trying to start up conversation in a more forced manner, then it could be a sign that he is unhappy right now, but actively wants to recreate the spark that you once had, grabbing your attention with little things.
