Every relationship has its ups and downs, regardless of you and your BF’s star signs. Still, what if you and your Virgo man have gone through a seemingly endless rough patch? Unfortunately, Virgos don’t usually take the initiative when they’re feeling unhappy, and often expect their partners to call it quits.[1] Don’t worry, though—we’ve put together plenty of clues, hints, and signs to help you figure out if he’s really pushing you away.

He doesn’t reply to your texts.

  1. Everyone forgets to reply to texts sometimes, but he makes it a regular occurrence. Maybe you ask him how his day was, or if he’d like to hang out later on. No matter what the message is, it never seems important enough to grab his attention. Unfortunately, leaving you on read is a classic sign that he’s trying to pull away.[3]
    • Try to give him the benefit of the doubt first. Let him know how you feel when he doesn’t reply to your messages, and see if he tries to make an effort. You could say something like: “I understand that you’re busy, but I feel like I’m not a priority when you blow off my texts. Do you think we could come to some sort of compromise?”
    • Super-delayed replies to your texts aren’t a great sign, either.

He acts disinterested.

He doesn’t make you a priority.

  1. Virgos tend to follow a strict daily schedule and will make time for those who matter. Invite him to spend some time with you and see how he reacts—an engaged, interested Virgo guy will be more than happy to pencil you into his daily life. If he’s never able (or willing) to prioritize you, there’s a good chance that he’s pushing you away.[7]
    • Ask him to hang out on multiple occasions. You might say “Would you like to head over to my place and watch a movie together?” or “Wanna grab a bite to eat at the food court tonight?”
    • Even if he’s busy one day, an interested Virgo should still be willing to prioritize you later on.

He isn’t eager to help you out.

He’s more critical than usual.

  1. All Virgos are a little bit critical, but their criticism shouldn’t be toxic. A kind, helpful Virgo guy will probably point out if your shirt is wrinkled or if you have something stuck in your teeth. However, his comments and critiques are meant to help you, not harm you. If he’s really trying to push you away, he might make pointlessly critical, borderline nasty remarks. He might say:[9]
    • “Your room is such a pigsty” instead of “You could really speed up your morning routine if you organized your room.”
    • “You look like you got dressed in the dark” instead of “Your shirt and pants don’t match very well.”

He acts passive-aggressively.

  1. Petty remarks, snide comments, and bouts of silent treatment are big red flags. Pay attention to how he treats you on a day-to-day basis, and how he reacts to minor inconveniences. Does he seem to make a big deal out of nothing, or turn the slightest inconvenience into a huge issue? Non-stop passive-aggressive language could definitely be a sign that he’s pulling away.[11] He might say:[12]
    • “I’m not mad” when he’s clearly upset.
    • “Fine. It’s whatever” instead of sharing how he’s really feeling.
    • “I was just joking” when he says a clearly hurtful remark.
