2)He does not have time for you.

Spending quality time with your partner is something every couple craves. If your man or boyfriend constantly gives excuses on why he cannot spend time with you, then you need to worry.

Canceled plans, unexplained absences, or a general lack of enthusiasm for joint activities may signal a declining interest in sustaining the relationship.

3)Lies about small things

relationships are built on trust and honesty. If your partner lies about the little things that he has no business lying about, then it is time to reevaluate your relationship.

4)Lack of affection.

Physical connection is essential in any relationship or marriage. If your man does not show affection or comes up with excuses to avoid being affectionate with you, then there could be something wrong with the relationship.
