If you are in a relationship with a man and you think things are going very well, and then he suddenly becomes somewhat cold and distant, it can be very confusing and frustrating.
It’s a fairly common occurrence.
A woman will be dating a man and things seem to be progressing nicely, then he stops returning phone calls and he is difficult to get in touch with. On this page we are going to shed some light on why men pull away and what to do about it.
There are a lot of reasons why a man might pull away from a relationship. Sometimes it is things that a woman does that will actually push a man away. Other times, it is his own fears and insecurities that caused him to pull away from a relationship.
I want to start by taking a closer look at some of the mistakes that women make in relationships that will actually cause a man to pull away.
The Drama Queen
Let’s face it, some women are total drama queens who seem to overreact whenever any little thing goes wrong. Sometimes things don’t even have to go wrong, a drama queen will create drama where none exists. I don’t know why some people seem to thrive in chaos, maybe they just like the attention, but most men won’t put up with that type of nonsense for very long.
Nag Nag Nag
Some women constantly nag the man they’re with. It could be about picking up after himself, the way he dresses, the way he eats, or some other quirk or personality trait that he has. If you are nagging or nitpicking, this can push a man away.
You Don’t Trust Him
Some women are incredibly jealous and possibly even paranoid. They don’t trust the man they’re with. If you snoop around and look for clues that he may be up to something, if you check his e-mails and text messages, he will feel like you don’t trust him and without trust, a relationship just won’t work.
So far we have touched on a few common mistakes that women make in relationships. This is by no means a comprehensive list but these are some common things that can cause a man to pull away from a relationship (check out the top 10 reasons why men pull away article for more common reasons men pull way). The obvious solution is to stop doing those things. Of course that is easier said than done but if you have been with several men that have pulled away from the relationship, and it seems to be a pattern, you need to take a look at some of the things you might be doing that push men away.
Of course it’s not always the woman’s fault if a man pulls away from a relationship so now we’re going to take a look at some of the common fears and insecurities that men have that cause them to pull away.
If you are the perfect girlfriend but your man pulls away from the relationship, it’s probably because he’s afraid of something. Here are some of the common fears that men have about relationships.
He’s Afraid of Being Hurt Again
If a man has been in love before and his woman dumped him, or if his girlfriend cheated on him, it can make him afraid of putting himself in a situation where that could happen again. Some men will pull away when they are falling in love to avoid becoming emotionally invested in a relationship because it’s easier than dealing with the pain of having love ripped away.
He’s Afraid of Losing His Freedom
A lot of men are afraid that things will change too much if they become involved in a serious relationship. A man might think that he will be expected to spend all of his free time with his girlfriend, thus not leaving any time for his current friends, hobbies, or other interests.
What you can to to get him ready to commit to a more serious relationship instead of pulling away from you. Read on.
If you can ease a man’s fears, you can help him get ready to commit to a more serious relationship.
If a man is afraid of losing his freedom, you can encourage him to do the things he enjoys doing. Tell him to go out with his friends, tell him that it’s okay to pursue his various hobbies and interests. At the same time, you should do the same. You should have your own hobbies and interests, and spend time with your friends. You don’t have to spend every available moment together when you are in a relationship. In fact, it’s better to spend a little bit of time apart. If you do, the time you spend together will be even better.
If a man pulls away from a relationship, you need to give him the time and space he needs to figure things out. If you go chasing after him when he pulls away, it could push him further away. Not all men will pull away from a relationship but it is fairly common. Give him the space he needs and when he realizes how much he misses you and how much he wants to be with you, the relationship will be stronger.
