17 undeniable signs a guy is unhappy in his relationship

1) You’re not his best friend anymore. His phone is.

Do you remember those times when you two used to talk for hours?

He would tell you about all his problems and you’d be helping him out.

Or, when you two used to take long walks together?

You would share your dreams and goals with him and he’d do the same.

So, what happened?

If your guy is unhappy in your relationship, he’s most probably not as present as he used to be.

He might use his phone to distract himself from you (or his problems) or just to kill some time. Or, there could be other reasons he’s always on his phone, but that’s another story.

In general, if a guy is constantly on his phone, it might be difficult for him to connect with the people around him. This could lead to social problems or even relationship breakups because of how he spends his time.

My point is that if he’s not present in your relationship anymore, he’s probably not happy.

2) He doesn’t feel like you need him for anything.

Are you an independent woman who rarely asks for her partner’s help with something?

If you are, I congratulate you! However, this might be one of the reasons and the signs your man is unhappy with you.

When a guy doesn’t feel needed in his relationship, he becomes distant and unhappy. 

How do I know?

There’s a new theory in the relationship world that’s causing quite a stir – it’s called the hero instinct. 

Coined by relationship expert James Bauer, this fascinating concept finally explains how men really think and feel in relationships. 

And it’s something most women have never even heard of. 

According to James Bauer, men don’t actually need a lot to feel content in their relationships. To most people’s surprise, it has nothing to do with sex. 

You see, men have innate drivers. These are natural responses that they’re not even aware of. But when a woman comes along and triggers them, it causes a powerful response. 

The result is a man who loves harder, commits wholeheartedly, and truly dedicates himself to the relationship. 

So, how can you trigger your man’s hero instinct? 

Well, you certainly don’t need to act like a damsel in distress or buy him a cape. It’s quite simple, actually. 

All you have to do is give your man certain signals that make him feel needed in the relationship. These allow him to step to the plate and feel fulfilled in his role as your partner.

And these signals are revealed in this simple and genuine video by James Bauer. 

The truth is, once you understand how the hero instinct works, there’s no telling what heights your relationship can reach. 

So if you want to give your man what he truly wants from you, make sure to check out James Bauer’s excellent video. In it, he reveals the exact texts and phrases you can use straight away.

3) He’s not trying to make you happy like he used to.

If your guy is unhappy, he’s probably not trying to make you happy either.

Can you relate? 

Am I right when I say that:

• He won’t compliment you. 
• He won’t ask you out on dates. 
• He won’t pay attention to your needs.

But why? This could happen because he’s not happy in your relationship anymore. I’m not saying that he doesn’t care about you or that he doesn’t want to be with you anymore.

I’m just saying that he’s probably not as motivated to make you happy as he used to.

This is definitely a clue that something isn’t working out and that you should find out what it is before it’s too late.

How? By talking to him.

Ask him what’s going on. Ask him what the issue is that he’s not happy with. Ask him about his thoughts and feelings about the relationship. 

Check your own assumptions if you need more clues as well.

4) He has his friends over all the time now… like every night.

When a guy is unhappy in his relationship, he’ll most likely have his friends over all the time or go out with them a lot. 

This could mean that he’s trying to spend more time with them because he’s not finding enough comfort, support, or fun from you. 

Or, the brutal truth could be that he doesn’t find you interesting anymore.

On the other hand, if his friends are at his place all the time, it could also signify that he’s trying to avoid spending time with you alone.

Either way, this could be a problem. He should be with you, not with his friends every night, right?

Then again, this is only a clue that there’s something wrong. It doesn’t have to be true!

Perhaps there’s a FIFA championship you don’t know about and that’s why he’s spending so much time playing games lately.

5) He’s not sharing his thoughts and feelings anymore.

Men express their dissatisfaction in various ways. For example, some of them are most likely not sharing their thoughts and feelings with their partners anymore.

This happens because they either don’t feel the need to talk anymore or because they don’t want to be as open with you as before.

Sometimes, it can be difficult for a guy to express his thoughts, especially his unhappy ones. 

That’s why it could be helpful for you to ask him about what he’s feeling.

If he doesn’t want to discuss his thoughts and feelings with you, there must be a reason for it. 

So, don’t ignore this clue. Talk to him about it and find out what’s going on in order to fix the issue.

6) You can’t remember the last time he said: “I love you”.

Another clue you should look out for is if you can’t remember the last time he told you he loved you.

So, ask yourself this:

• Does your guy say “I love you” as often as he used to?
• Or, has he not said it at all in a while?

If he doesn’t say “I love you” anymore, there might be a reason for it, and you should try to figure out what that reason is.

And if you have no idea what the reason might be, ask him about it.

Or, I mentioned this fascinating concept earlier: the hero instinct. When a man’s inner hero is triggered, he’s more likely to be happy in his relationship, and fully committed to you.

Just by knowing the right things to say to him, you’ll open a part of him that no woman has ever reached before.

And the easiest way to do so is by watching this free video by James Bauer. In it, he’ll reveal simple phrases and texts you can use to make your man truly yours. 

Here’s a link to the excellent video again.

7) He doesn’t have time for your relationship like he used to.

He’s probably not spending enough time with you anymore.

Or he might be spending too much time on his phone or in front of the TV without talking to you enough. 

This could be a sign that something is wrong with your relationship or tiredness could be the reason here. I highly suggest checking this out to see if it’s true.

If so, don’t overlook this sign. Talk to him about it and fix the problem.

Or, surprise him by taking initiative and planning something special for you two. However, make sure he’s available if you want him to have a positive reaction.

8) He’s not very communicative anymore.

Do you get a strange feeling in your stomach when your partner doesn’t want to talk to you? As if something was wrong between you two?

If you do, it could be your instinct telling you that your partner is unhappy with you.

Signs your guy doesn’t enjoy talking to you anymore are:

• He’s not excited to share details about his day with you or to ask you about your day.
• He’s not enthusiastic about talking with you about almost anything lately. 
• He’s not even interested in talking about things that are important to both of you.

However, before you jump to conclusions, make sure he’s not going through something with his parents or at work. 

If something is stressing him out, it’s natural he doesn’t want to chit-chat. So, don’t get too worried about it until you find out what’s going on.

9) He acts distant when you’re around him.

A guy might become distant in his relationship because he feels like he doesn’t have any space to himself when he’s with you.

How does a distant guy behave?

• He’s not very interested in talking to you.
• He doesn’t look into your eyes when he’s talking to you.
• He doesn’t say much when he’s with you.
• He is not affectionate with you.
• He doesn’t make plans or take initiative.

Or, he could be feeling like he can’t be himself around you. Either way, this could be a serious sign that something is wrong.

However, it’s not always bad for your relationship to have some space.

Remember that you need space just as much as he does. When you both feel comfortable with giving each other space and it doesn’t last for too long, this is perfectly fine. 

This means you’re communicating well and are able to solve problems when they arise.

10) He rejects you when you’re trying to be intimate with him.

He rejected you. More than once.

What gives?

An unhappy man may experience lower libido and could reject your attempts to have sex with him. 

His feelings are important when it comes to intimacy as well. He can’t just ignore his emotional struggle and perform like nothing is going on.

I learned this from one of the leading experts on male psychology – Michael Fiore. He explains what men really want from relationships.

In his free video, Michael reveals why most men struggle to settle down with one woman, and how to overcome this barrier using simple but surprisingly effective techniques. 

His incredible advice can turn even the coldest, commitment-phobic men into loving, dedicated partners. 

So if you want science-based methods to make him want to realize you’re the one, check out Michael’s genuine advice below.

11) He’s not as romantic anymore.

What makes romance in a relationship so important? Well, it’s the little things that count.

For instance, when your guy is kissing you and he stops, pulls back, and says: “I love you.”, this is extremely romantic because it shows how much he cares about you.

Or when he lets you sleep in with him on your days off, because he knows you haven’t been getting enough rest. This is also romantic because it shows how much he wants to take care of you.

However, if you haven’t been getting a lot of romance in your relationship, don’t worry about it. 

There may be a reason why he’s not as romantic as he used to be, and the solution could be very easy. 

If there is no obvious option, ask him what’s going on and see if anything needs to change. If so, discuss things with him until you find an agreement that works for both of you.

12) Your man doesn’t take care of himself as he used to.

This one is a bit more complicated, especially if your guy used to take good care of his appearance and had a healthy lifestyle.

For instance, he might be eating unhealthy foods or not showering enough. Or he might still use dirty clothes and probably not clean his phone every morning.

Either way, this could mean that he has let himself go because he’s no longer interested in smelling good and looking presentable to you.

His disinterest could be caused by many things. However, the main issue here is the fact that he may be unhappy.

When a man stops taking care of himself, it could mean that he’s not as happy with his life as a whole, not only with you.

13) You no longer feel connected to him.

There were times when you used to feel connected to this guy as you did at the beginning of the relationship.

But, now you don’t feel like this anymore. You don’t feel that connection the way you used to, and you’re not sure why this has changed so much.

Well, there’s a reason for it. In fact, there are many reasons why a man might no longer connect with his girlfriend. 

You may not even be aware of them and this could also be a problem for your relationship as a whole.

Examples are when…

• He’s distant and not affectionate as he used to be. 
• He starts blaming you for things that are actually out of your control. 
• He suggests different things for the relationship that could cause a lot of confusion between both of you.

So, what can you do in these circumstances? Talk to him and tell him how you feel.

Have a serious discussion about things that need to change for your relationship to work better. 

More importantly, be willing to change as well. If you can do this and both of you are willing, there are no reasons why your relationship shouldn’t work out in the end.

14) You think he’s no longer infatuated with you.

How do you know when a guy is no longer infatuated with you?

When he’s not as romantic as he used to be. As I mentioned earlier, it’s the little things that count the most.

Or, when he doesn’t make spontaneous comments about how much he loves you anymore. In fact, if he acts like he doesn’t even know you exist, this could be a sign that something is wrong.

So, what can you do about it?

Dating and relationship coach Clayton Max has developed sets of phrases that are guaranteed to make any man infatuated with you.

These phrases reach men on a deep primal level – most women don’t know about this, which is why they struggle to keep a man’s infatuation.

To find out what they are, watch his video here where he explains everything.

15) He criticizes you and the things you do.

At first, this guy was showering you with compliments. Meanwhile, things have changed. It’s not that he doesn’t say anything nice about you or the things that you do. 

On the contrary, he criticizes you regardless of the topic you have in mind. If you have the intention of doing something, he criticizes it and makes a big deal out of it.

Or, he doesn’t seem to be happy with the way you look, cook, or talk to his friends. If this is happening in your relationship, it could be due to a number of reasons. 

For instance, he’s growing tired of you. Or he may be feeling that he needs to change something about you, like how you talk or avoid certain topics. 

Whatever the reason is, if things are changing in your relationship because of his behavior, this could be a sign that you’re no longer compatible.

16) He stopped making compromises.

When a guy stops being willing to compromise, it means he’s less interested in making things work between the two of you, or he’s stubborn for some reason.

In addition, when you try to compromise, he might make a big deal out of it and try to convince you to do things his way. 

This could be happening because he isn’t happy and wants to show you that he can take control of everything in your relationship.

Or, he may stop offering things that could work for both of you and this could lead to a lot of unhappiness.

So what can you do when he stops compromising? Well, if things start getting too much, talk to him. 

17) He’s no longer interested in doing things with you.

At the beginning of your relationship, this guy was extremely excited about doing things with you. 

He always wanted to spend time together and didn’t mind going out of his way to spend time with you. 

But, things have changed. He doesn’t seem as interested in spending quality time together as he used to be. 

Either way, this could be a red flag for you and there is a reason for it. You might have done something wrong to get him to this point.

If this is true, then you should talk to him about the problem. If you do so, he may start showing interest in you again and in doing things with you as he did in the beginning. 

However, if he doesn’t show any interest in spending time together even after you two talk, be aware of the fact that he may have lost interest in you completely.

Final thoughts

If we’re being honest, every couple goes through rough patches when they don’t feel like they fit together anymore. 

While this is normal, it is also something that you can avoid. How?

I touched on the hero instinct earlier – it’s the perfect remedy for the situation you’re facing. 

Why?

Because once a man’s hero instinct is triggered, he’ll only have eyes for you and he’ll have no reason to be unhappy. 

You’ll reach a part of him that no woman has ever managed to reach before. 

And in return, he’ll be compelled to commit to you and love you like he’s never loved another woman. 

So if you’re ready to take that plunge and reach new heights in your relationship, make sure to check out relationship expert James Bauer’s invaluable advice.
