8 Subtle Changes In Your Partner That Are Actually Red Flags

4. Intimacy and communication are lacking
We all know that the honeymoon phase is that blissful time of the relationship where you can’t take your hands off of each other and it eventually has to end. But there is a huge difference between a normal sex life and a basically non-existent one. If your sex life was really great up until a point but he refuses to talk about it or anything else, in fact, then you two have a problem.

5. Frequent nights out
Another subtle change in his behavior to look for is more frequent nights out without you. We all love to have some alone time, some time with our friends, but when you are in a relationship, that relationship should be your priority. If your partner says that they need you, there’s nothing more important than them at that point. But if his priorities have changed and he’s out almost every night, without you even having any idea where or with whom, I’m afraid that your relationship is facing a major threat.

6. He starts laughing at you instead of with you
You two used to crack jokes together all the time and you had such a great laugh every day. But recently, it seems like he is laughing at you more than he is with you. No matter how hard you try, no matter how well you do something, there is always something he can laugh at. And while you dismiss it as him making jokes as always, there is always some truth to them. There is always something more than simple jokes, because if you love someone you will never want to hurt them and even if you do, you’ll make sure you never do it again. Think objectively about his behavior and your relationship. If it has turned into a toxic one, it’s time for you to let it go.

7. Shifts in arguments
Your arguments have become more frequent and he is usually the one starting them. Everything is bothering him, even your breathing as it sometimes seems. He is more aggressive than he was before and all of your arguments end up without agreement or a solution, it’s either him walking away or things escalating to the point where both of you are shouting and screaming until one gives up, and that one is usually you.
