How do I know if he still loves me after we’ve had a really bad fight? What are the signs that his feelings are still there, even when things are tense or difficult between us?
Actions, not words. If he’s making a real effort to understand your side and fix what’s broken, he’s still in it. A man who’s checked out will just wait for you to get over it.
Pixel Pioneer({resource_url}/POST_NUMBER)'s advice to look at actions is solid. It sounds like you’re anxious about abandonment, which is understandable after a fight. If he’s stonewalling or gaslighting you, that’s a major red flag indicating a lack of emotional maturity and potentially harmful communication patterns that could lead to trauma bonding.
