1. He doesn’t smile at or greet you
If he does not greet you warmly or doesn’t smile at you, it is one of the signs he is hurt emotionally. If he was a warm person before and now, he doesn’t even want to smile at you, your actions or words could have caused the change.
If you feel he is not returning your affections, intentionally draw his attention by calling him and smiling at him. If he doesn’t respond, you will know for sure.
2. He doesn’t talk to you
You don’t want to talk with someone who hurts you. It is the same for your partner too. You are among the most important people in his life, and you have hurt him. It is quite obvious he doesn’t want to talk to you.
Try initiating a conversation with your partner. If he seems uninterested in talking with you or makes excuses not to talk with you, understand that he is seriously hurt.
3. He doesn’t respond to your calls or messages
If you call or message your partner during the weekday, say during office hours, it is expected that he will not respond to them. But if he doesn’t respond to them even after office hours, it might be a sign that you have hurt him pretty badly.
If he is consistently not responding to your calls and messages for a week, it means he is no longer interested in having a conversation with you.
4. He blocks you on social media
Blocking on social media is a way of showing someone you are not interested in their life anymore. If your man unfriends, unfollows, or blocks you on any of the social media platforms, it is a warning.
If your partner doesn’t want you on his social media (and doesn’t want to check yours in turn), it means you have hurt him enough to completely shut you out of his world.

5. He starts eating or drinking too much
When people are emotionally hurt, they often turn to food and drinks to cope. Food becomes a crutch for them to drown their sorrows on. If your partner has started binge-eating, especially junk food, it is his psychological need to drown his sorrows in food.
Drinking excessively is another indicator of a hurt partner. If he didn’t use to drink more than a couple of beers before, this is a sure sign that you have hurt him badly.
6. He gets angry with you when you talk
He is hurting a lot, and he cannot simply handle contact without losing control of his temper.
It could be that he is simply irritated with you all the time. If you fought with each other, he might find your presence annoying.
7. He doesn’t help you
He doesn’t want to help you. In fact, there might be times when he doesn’t even want to listen to your problem. He refuses to listen and be a part of your life, even for a short time.
A person who is on good terms will help you, and if they cannot help, they will point you to the people who can help you. But a hurt partner is unlikely to do any of these.
