Not showing affection when you’re in a serious relationship is not acceptable. If you’re not feeling loved, you should either talk about it or leave.
3. They’re emotionally unavailable
A good way to know if your partner is hiding something from you, especially a new lover, is if they stop talking to you.
They will avoid having big conversations with you and keep interactions short and meaningless so they won’t end up telling you something that could compromise your relationship. As a consequence, you’ll feel strong communication problems arising between you two.
Having feelings for someone else or cheating in a relationship is one of the reasons that can be causing bad communication between you and your partner.
After all, they can’t talk to you about it, at least they feel like they can’t, so they’ll stop doing it at all.
They prefer to keep everything to themselves, and they’ll try to hide what’s really going on, maybe because they regret it or just don’t want to hurt you by telling you the truth, not realizing they’re hurting you already.
4. They avoid being in the same room as you
It’s not just about the emotional distance you should be worried about; you can tell a lot by what a person is feeling through their physicality.
If your partner likes someone else, they won’t feel any desire to share a bed with you or cuddle up on the couch while watching a movie. They’ll feel extremely uncomfortable, which will make them avoid such situations.
Maybe they start “falling asleep” on the couch more often, or their boss is “making them” work extra hours, all these situations that in reality are just excuses to be away from you.
Even if your suspicious, don’t go detective on him. Don’t chase him after work to see where he ends up, don’t interrogate his parents or his friends. Don’t give him any reason to make you the “bad guy” of the story. Because in the end, you’ll have a clean conscience, and they won’t.
