1. There’s No Affection Anymore
Love inspires affection.
When your husband stops being affectionate, he most likely stopped feeling love for you. I know this isn’t nice to hear, but being affectionate is really effortless when you love someone. But please be aware that showing affection can vary from person to person.
You might crave physical touch, while he shows affection by buying you gifts. Not being affectionate in the way you want it doesn’t mean that he stopped loving you. So how do you know if your husband doesn’t love you anymore?
Look for how he used to treat you. If he stopped these things completely, most likely it’s because his love isn’t there anymore.
2. He’s Always Busy With More Important Things Than You
When you enjoy someone’s company, you want to spend more time with them.
Your husband being busy with work, friends, hobbies, and other things communicates that he enjoys these things more than being with you. Does it mean that the love has faded? Maybe. It may also be that he has been hurt by you and hasn’t expressed it.
Because of this hurt, he’s now looking for other ways to satisfy himself. Most people don’t just fall out of love, they stop trying to look for closeness because they feel hurt.

3. He’s Stopped Courting You
Does he have to buy you flowers and take you on a date?
Not necessarily. It’s normal that you don’t court each other the same way as when you first met each other. But that doesn’t mean that all the gifts and dates just go out of the window. They may just be a bit less frequent.
Courting doesn’t just happen through dates and flowers. It happens in the way he looks at you and how he treats you. So much can be communicated through a glance and a touch that no gift or date could.
So don’t just look for the things he does, but look for how he is with you.
I compliment my wife daily. I tell her how much I love her. What I can do for her today is on my mind almost everyday. It doesn’t mean we have to go on dates all the time. But I am still very much interested in dating her.
4. He’s Never Happy With What You Do
We all have our preferences.
And they will diverge from each other simply because we’re human. But that doesn’t mean that you have to be at each other’s throats just because you aren’t happy with what your partner has done.
If your husband is busy criticizing you all the time, it can be a sign that he has lost sight of the love you once had for each other. He’s prioritizing trying to make you do things his way rather than appreciating you as you are.
5. He Doesn’t Make an Effort to Deepen the Relationship
It doesn’t just stop after you get married.
That’s just the start.
It’s not downhill after the honeymoon fades. It really is the beginning of a journey that can go deeper than any honeymoon phase could ever take you.
But it requires a commitment of time and energy. So if your husband isn’t showing any sign of showing up for you and your relationship, he might think he doesn’t love you anymore. After all, when you are fully committed to each other, you’re going to take on any challenge together.
6. He Doesn’t Care About Your Feelings
It’s normal that you want to see your partner happy.
You want them to thrive.
Why wouldn’t you?
It’s fulfilling to see that your spouse is satisfied. So if your husband doesn’t show any signs of wanting to see you thrive, his heart and mind is in the wrong place. It may be that he’s just going through a phase where he’s super stressed, or it could be that there’s something wrong with the relationship that caused him to withdraw.

Love makes us do crazy things like moving to another continent or learning a new language.
Some people will be less inclined to do drastic things like these and there’s nothing wrong with that. However, if your husband is solely focused on what’s best for him, he’s really quitting the relationship.
A relationship means that you build a life together. You can’t do that if you’re only focused on yourself. If you’re not in it together, you’re not in a functioning relationship anymore.
8. He Takes You For Granted
Love appreciates.
When your husband doesn’t appreciate you anymore, he’s started to stunt his expression of love towards you. But love needs to be expressed, otherwise it’ll wither away.
Now, his brain doesn’t see you as special anymore. You’re just there like everything else in his life. He stops cultivating the relationship with you, and with it, the love he feels for you.
So if you find that your husband is taking you for granted, take a moment to reflect and see in what state your relationship is in.
9. He Doesn’t Share What’s Going on in His Life Anymore
Part of relating is letting the other person into your world views and your life.
If your husband stopped doing that, it could mean that he doesn’t love you anymore. But do be aware that many men have a tendency to withdraw when faced with problems. They go into their cave and try to figure it out themselves.
If you’ve seen him go through phases of withdrawal, don’t panic. He’ll most likely come out of it again.
10. He’s Always Irritated With You
You just wanted to ask a question and he frowns and looks at you as if you’ve stepped on his foot.
Constant irritation is a sign that love has gone missing. It doesn’t mean it can’t be revived, but it does mean that he’s currently not in a loving state most of the time.
You can’t let this go on forever because you’ll get hurt and start to withdraw yourself. Before you know it, you’ll be like two strangers living together that don’t want to tick each other off. That’s not a very pleasant place to be.
