Top 10 reasons why a man walks away from a relationship

Why do men walk away?

Did he give up on the relationship because what he felt was never true love? Was it something you did? Something you said? Something you should have said but didn’t?

After a relationship ends, what’s left are many questions that immediately need an answer.

You are consumed with the need to know where it all went wrong and why.

People don’t usually wake up one day and decide that they don’t love their partner anymore. Just as falling in love is a process that takes place over time, giving up on love is also a process that takes months or years.

When you know the reasons why this happened, you can identify why your boyfriend/husband walked away and that will give you time to save your relationship!

So here’s the truth about what makes men pull away in a relationship:

Top 10 reasons why a man walks away from a relationship

1. He doesn’t feel admired or appreciated

Men have an underlying need to feel like winners in the world. That’s what drives them. When a woman doesn’t show appreciation, he feels like a failure and that’s the worst feeling for a man.

When he feels that he is succeeding in the relationship, it stimulates and inspires him to invest even more, which makes him show even more love for his partner. The opposite is also true. When he doesn’t feel appreciated, he withdraws and closes himself off.

2. Too much negativity

Here’s another life-changing revelation about men: Men move toward what looks good and away from what feels bad. If all his interactions with you are negative, he will not want to be around you.

When you’re always presenting him with problems, maybe it’s your personal problems, problems you both need to deal with (bills, repairs, things that need to be done), or complaining and telling him what he’s doing wrong (i.e., nagging) then the relationship is filled with negativity.

Now, that doesn’t mean you can never voice a grievance or grievance. You can and should, as long as you are on the right path and at the right time.

Don’t attack him with a litany of demands and criticism the second he walks through the door after a long day at work. And even when you need to complain or criticize, do it carefully.

Men are very sensitive to feeling like the problem. If you turn him into a problem, then you turn into someone he doesn’t want to be with.

This isn’t just a relationship thing, it’s a human thing. Nobody wants to be around a negative person. We are attracted to people who radiate positivity and light.

3. You are incompatible

At the beginning of a relationship, it’s easy to say (and believe) things like: love conquers all, love will find a way, love is all you need. Despite the fact that these mantras have been placed in our minds through music and movies, they are not truly true to what they say.

Love cannot, in fact, reverse incompatibility. If you want kids and he doesn’t, if you’re religious and he’s not (or he’s a different religion and that’s a problem for you), if he’s a saver and prefers to put all his money in a savings account and you like to spend and enjoy life… well, these are some serious problems that may not have a solution.

A friend of mine ended a three year relationship with his girlfriend… a girl he had been living with for two years… a girl he had just bought an engagement ring with because he eventually realized they weren’t compatible!

That’s why it’s important to use your head and not your heart when it comes to relationships, so you don’t end up in a situation like this!

4. It was never love what he felt for you

If all of a sudden a guy started getting totally obsessed with you, looking at you like you were the only woman on the face of the earth… then he probably didn’t love you, he was probably just in love with you.

The fire, passion and chemistry at first can be intense and often makes you not take a step back to analyze what the real situation is in the relationship. (This can cause problems if you are not compatible, as discussed above.)

At first, you are flooded with hormones that drive you crazy. But as with all drugs… the “breeze” eventually wears off and you have to face reality.

If your relationship was born out of a crush, then it might not have been something real… it might just have been something that felt really, really good at the time.

Sometimes what looks like a guy pulling away is actually a guy realizing he never loved you.

5. He doesn’t feel supported by you

If a man doesn’t feel supported, he won’t want to be in a relationship.

Most men have a “mission” in life. The “missions” vary, but practically every man has one. It’s what gives his life purpose and meaning. What men want more than anything is a woman who will support them in this mission.

He needs to feel like he’s heading in the right direction, and he wants a partner to support him in this.

One of the biggest signs that a woman should break up with a guy is if she doesn’t respect him and thinks she never will. That’s why men need support. And as I discussed earlier, they need to feel appreciated and admired. If a man doesn’t get this from the woman he is with, he will start to walk away from the relationship daily.

6. Emotional intimacy has disappeared

A relationship can develop into what appears to be a business partnership over time: there are bills to pay, tasks that need to be done, goals to achieve, etc. And it can absolutely kill passion in a relationship.

Yes, we all have work, college, children and various commitments in our daily lives, but that doesn’t mean we have to put our relationship aside.

At first, you don’t have to make an effort to have chemistry in your relationship, as it appears automatically! Over time, it isn’t all that available and you have to look for it, create it, and recreate it over and over again for the rest of your lives.

To prevent this from happening, make time for romance, make time to connect as lovers, not just as roommates or as parents or partners.

7. You are too clingy/needy

What’s wrong is that you’ve needed him to give you things that really only you can give yourself, like a sense of security.

You are trusting him for your happiness, even if it comes at the cost of your own happiness. You have expectations of him that he “should” do to make you happy and you blame him for your negative emotions.

Neediness can easily manifest as a problem: texting constantly, wanting to spend all your time with him, leaving your life to him, and expecting him to do the same. It’s not shocking that this behavior is a huge burden on men.

Making him your whole world is the surest way to make him abruptly leave this world and move on without you.

8. He can’t be the real you

There is no greater feeling than just being. You don’t need to front or measure your words or practice what you want to say before you say them. You can just relax and let your true self shine.

A relationship without it is a very unpleasant place to be.

If every time he opens up to you, he feels judged, attacked, guilty, or misunderstood, he will stop opening up next time. When he doesn’t open up, he doesn’t feel the same emotional connection with you. When he doesn’t feel emotionally connected to you, he’ll start pulling away from you. After a period of estrangement, your love will start to fade and he will eventually leave the relationship.

We often wear masks in our daily lives. We hide behind smiles and beautiful filters. But we are just people under that beautiful nail polish. And we all want to feel loved and appreciated by our true selves.

If a guy feels like he can’t be genuine, like he can’t take the mask off, like he always has to be “on” with you, well, he just won’t want you anymore.

9. You two have become indifferent

Indifference can kill a relationship. This happens when you stop investing in the relationship… you just let things go.

Love is a verb, it happens through actions. In a relationship, love is always there, but you still need to invest in it.

Love is an experience on many levels. To reach the next ones, you have to put in at least a little effort. Yes, it’s okay to “relax” a little when the relationship is more relaxed, but try not to take this luxury too far.

It’s not just about taking care of yourself, although that’s important. It’s about taking care of the relationship.

10. You no longer meet your needs

It’s not just about physical needs, although they are definitely important. I’m talking about emotional needs. You need to look outside your own experience of the relationship, see his experience and what your needs are.

Sometimes we get so caught up in our own experience in the relationship that we forget there is someone else there too! He is also a person with wants and needs.

One big difference between men and women is that most women are in tune with their emotional needs and can express them clearly. Men don’t always know what they need and often need your help to find it.

Love requires that we step out of our comfort zone for the sake of our partner. In order to have a healthy and happy relationship, we also need to work on being our best selves, on becoming emotionally healthy, on finding true happiness and meaning in our lives.
