6 Reasons Why Your Boyfriend is Avoiding You

Those of us who have been in relationships are aware that it’s not always going to be a walk in the park, honeymoon-phase forever. Each of us has a life of our own filled with stress, deadlines and other engagements which makes giving continuous attention to our significant other difficult. It’s rather troublesome.

In these cases, men are worse than women in handling both relationship and work at the same time. They drift apart from their partners for various reasons and women also tend to react strongly against them thinking they are not in love with them anymore.

We have compiled some important reasons to understand why men act so aloof at times. Check them out in order to analyse if your boyfriend simply needs space or the relationship is in trouble.

1.No More Lovey-dovey phase

In the initial stages of a relationship couples are wrapped into each other, their world merged together, their eyes unaware of their surroundings. Popularly called the ‘honeymoon phase’, your emotions and hormones are heightened at this time. However, it passes after 6 months or so, after which you need to inspect if your partner is still just as attentive or has changes considerably.

2.Work Stress

For us adults, work takes up a lot of our time and when there’s a deadline we become more invested in it. Men instinctively feel the need to solve problems which turns them into workaholics. Therefore when a man thinks that he needs to concentrate more on his work to secure his income and support his family, he will separate himself from, everything else to figure out ways to solve the issue. Give him the independence to do what he thinks is right and don’t intrude if he doesn’t wish to.

3.He feels you’re still pissed

After an argument, men tend to freak out about the aftermath and think that their girlfriends won’t forgive them. Therefore they give you space to cool down as talking might anger you again. It’s better to approach him when you’ve calmed down.

4.He’s concealing something from you

Men are not good at keeping secrets and so when he’s planning some surprise, he might avoid you lest he reveals his plans. So if there’s some important occasion soon and he’s acting weird, you can be sure that he has something amazing planned for you.

5.Depression

A far more serious problem is that he’s probably suffering from depression and that might be hard to identify. In this case it’s something he has to deal all by himself and you can only give him support and love throughout. Listen to him and show that you’ll be there for him. Don’t judge him or take the issue lightly.

6.He Wants to Separate

This is the saddest of the lot and a girl’s biggest fear. At times they will create distance to deal with the issue and also to understand what they want from the relationship.

Don’t always think your man is trying to break up with you. Take care of yourself and give him space when he needs it.
