Sluggish Signs His Friends Are More Important Than You

At some point, you feel like your lover don’t care about you at all and you find him always spending time with his friends, and you don’t know that. He doesn’t even tell you about his friends and what he likes to do.

Signs His Friends Are More Important Than You

In a relationship, of course you want to be your lover’s priority. You want all focus on you and nothing more. But what if your boyfriend has some more important thing in his life? Know the signs his friends are more important than you here!

1. He Rather Hang Out with His Friends Than You 

Whenever he has free time, he would spend it hanging out with his friends rather than hanging out with you. He thinks that you do not need attention and the relationship can just be left hanging. He also keeps going out with them even when you ask him to be with you. 

2. He Does Not Listen to You

When you are busy thinking about someone else, it’s going to be hard to focus. Your boyfriend is going through these phases where he can’t listen to you because he is not with you. He is thinking about his friends.

3. He Talks About His Friends

He seems to always talk about his friends whenever he has the chance to. Whether it’s about their traits or what they enjoy together. It seems like you are always out of his mind.

4. He Compares You to His Friends

The worse thing he will do is he will compare you to his friends. More often than not, you will always look way uglier and worse than his friends. He will even tell you to start acting more like his friends. More fun like his friends or cooler like them. 

5. He Chats His Friends All The Time

I know, you say “my boyfriend would rather be with his friends than me”. You know you don’t lock your boyfriend to be with you 24/7, you wish only some time to spend with him, but you see he is never there with you but always makes time to hang out with his friends. 

There will be absolutely no time to talk to you or even ask about how your day is going. He will be preoccupied in bonding more with his friend through chat.

6. He Will Defend His Friends

Just when you start to complain even a little bit of not having time with him and the cause is his friend, he will defend his friend straight away. In these arguments he won’t even admit that you are right, even a little bit.

8. He Will Sacrifice More to His Friends

You tell, “my boyfriend spends more time with his friends than me”. Your boyfriend will start sacrificing more to his friends including his time, his energy, or even his money. But on the other end, he will not spend an ounce of time and energy on you.

9. He Lies About Meeting His Friend

Just so you don’t get jealous or mad, he will start lying about his whereabouts when he is hanging out with his friend. This is a clear sign that your relationship with him is stained and it is not a good everlasting relationship anymore.
