Listen closely because I’m about to lay down some hard truths, the kind that others might be too afraid to tell you.
Number one: Their phone has become more interesting than your conversation. If you’re sitting there, pouring your heart out, and they can’t stop swiping through Slaylebrity VIP, Instagram or replying to every Tom, Dick, and Harry on WhatsApp, then wake up! They’re not into the dialogue anymore; they’re into the digital.
Number two: They start treating you like a roommate rather than a soulmate. Suddenly, it’s all about splitting bills to the cent and less about Netflix and chill. When the romance is replaced by a debate over who last bought toilet paper, it’s a glaring billboard-sized sign that they’ve checked out.
Number three: Plans for the future start to fade away. Remember those talks about traveling the world together or buying that dream home? Gone. Now it’s more like, “Let’s see where things go.” If they’re not picturing you in their future, it’s because they don’t want you in it.
Number four: Affection has left the building, Elvis style. I’m talking about those little things – a touch, a kiss, or a cuddle. If these have become as rare as a unicorn sighting, then guess what? The magic is gone.
Lastly, they start prioritizing others consistently over you. It’s one thing to have a life outside the relationship, but it’s another when their every plan involves everyone but you. Suddenly, it’s boys’ nights out, girls’ brunches, family affairs, and you’re left holding the fort…alone.
Now, let me be crystal clear. None of these signs are your death sentence. They’re a wake-up call. The person you’re with might not have the guts to end things outright, but you deserve better. You deserve someone who’s as invested in you as you are in them. Don’t settle for a half-love wrapped in indifference.
So what do you do? You take the wheel. You confront the situation head-on. Discuss it, and if it turns out to be the end, then so be it. You walk out with your head high, knowing you respected yourself enough to not linger in uncertainty.
Remember, life is too short to be anyone’s second choice. Demand the love you give. Now, go out there and be the undeniable, unstoppable force I know you can be.
