signs he thinks he's losing you

Now, before we jump into the signs he thinks he’s losing you, let me start by saying that I don’t know your relationship with your partner.

If someone doesn’t see how special you are, why bother trying to get them to see that? Now that’s the question you need to answer for yourself.
