Men who had past girlfriends or wives that checked out of the relationship, did you ever noticed? How did it end? And what could you have done to change the situation?

My first relationship both of us were checked out and just kind of staying together because of how long we had been dating. Eventually we broke up. Nothing to change we just weren’t compatible and were staying together because we had been together for so long.
Trust your gut, don’t trust them hoes
Yes we notice. Sometimes we notice after we think on it after it’s over and learn from it. And most of the time I think there is nothing to be done after their mind is made up
Sometimes I noticed at the end, other times I noticed after the end, in all cases it ended with us breaking up or them cheating. I can’t do anything about a person quitting when I’m not quitting. All that can happen is that they be honest with what’s going on and I’m still waiting on that to happen.
My ex-wife and I checked out of each others’ lives years before we got divorced!! We simply stopped caring about each other.
Yes my ex wife checked out multiple times through our short and toxic 4 year marriage. Nothing I could have done different as she was battling some childhood daddy issues and was constantly seeking more male attention and validation.
(spoilers: it didn’t end happily ever after for her)
I noticed. I had given her a promise early in the relationship to not give up on her. She would go in and out of this perfect girlfriend mode which was mostly an act and it kept me off balance. I got depressed from a combination of things including not feeling like we were working and then I tried to start fixing things and initiated a conversation about it. She said all the right things and acted like she wanted to work on things, but coldly checked out about 30 hours later.
I noticed. She got word back that her ex may not have cheated on her. The way she treated me completely changed overnight. Every time I tried walking away, she made assurances it would get better. Despite being patient for over a year, she never really treated me like she did in the beginning. I think I was just rebound she ended up liking a little too much lol.
Well from experience it started off with more small fights, less affection like holding hands, no hugs, no kissing, acting like she was not with me in public.
Then she would just try find problems in the relationship that were not there and start a fight, sex life took a nose dive to once every couple months, it was literally like we were roommates who occasionally hooked up, she started to be secret with her phone, she gave idea that we should move into separate rooms where she gets the master and I get the small guest room even though it was my house I bought years ago and she had only been moved in for year and half I said no……. It felt like I was always walking on glass trying not start a fight. Slowly I realized she checked out the relationship and was too scared to break up. I eventually found out she was sleeping with my best friend. I broke up with her and she and him moved to a different state and got engaged. But you’ll notice the differences when they check out not being social anymore, no affection, no sex life, saying more hurtful things, and eventually y’all will start to feel like acquaintances than a couple. What could have I done to change it? Honestly nothing I think we were just incapable she wanted a submissive boyfriend who said yes to everything and Im not that kinda guy.
My ex-husband did. Six months later. You can infer how it ended from the “ex” part. The marriage counselor (male) told me even with a do over it would have ended the same.
I knew my ex wife was checked out months before we split. Didn’t really care because I was too
