10 Reasons Why He Ran Away From You

It could be that he just needs some time for himself, or it could be that he's not ready for a relationship.

By Phong OG Published 4 years ago 5 min read

Some men run away from you rather abruptly without a word, and have no intention of returning. They are seeking attention that you don’t give them, they crave affection and prioritize the idea that they are the only one who should love and be loved- something most of us take for granted. It is not your fault if a man has left you or he is molding himself into someone unrecognizable in order to find happiness.

Here are 10 reasons why he may have left:

1. He is not in love with you

In order to build a strong foundation for your relationship to grow, you need to have a solid friendship. It is important that the two of you are always open and honest about how you feel about each other. If he cannot be honest, he may be in denial about his feelings for you. If he doesn’t want a future with you, there is no need for him to love you because all that matters is his immediate pleasure and his selfish needs.

2. He does not feel comfortable expressing his love for you

If a man is hesitant about telling you how much he loves you, it is possible that he is keeping something from you. He may have not told you because he is afraid of what you will think of him or feels there is too much to lose by admitting his feelings, but that does not mean he does not have them.

If a man truly loves and cares about you, there should be no need for him to withhold information from you. It’s better to face the truth sooner rather than later so that the two of can move on together as a couple.

3. He is drawn to someone else

Some men may be addicted to the thrill of the chase. If he has not fallen in love with you yet, it is possible that he is with you for the wrong reasons. He might be infatuated by your beauty, but once he gets what he wants from you, he will lose interest. His true intentions might be concealed by his actions and words. A man should love and respect you as a person without needing anything in return to prove his devotion.

4. He has been hurt

A man left you because he was hurt or distraught over an event that happened in the past. He may have been the victim of domestic violence or abuse, but it’s not a reason to leave. It is important for him to talk about what happened and to seek help and support from a counselor so that he can move forward. A good therapist is able to assist a man in overcoming the emotional trauma that he has faced and re-establishing his identity.

5. He left because of false pride

A lot of men may be afraid to admit they are wrong. It is common for men to make mistakes and it is acceptable for them to admit them, but if he does not want to admit any wrongdoing, this could be a reason why he left. You need to respect his decision to leave and allow him the space and time he needs afterwards. It may be a good idea for you to put some distance between the two of you in order for him to breathe.

6. He wanted children

Some men may want children with which they can raise their family, but once they have children there is no reason why they can’t find a woman who will love them unconditionally. It is important to give him a chance to be the father he wants to be. He needs to find his own happiness, but it is not for him to deprive you of a family should he want children with you.

7. He has no patience

A man may have had enough of waiting around for you. It could be that he has finished with you and doesn’t have the patience anymore, but it’s just as likely that he found someone new and wants her over you. If he doesn’t have the patience to wait any more then why should you? You are better off without a man who will not make things happen for himself.

8. He wants to escape from his problems

A man may have left you because it is easier for him to avoid his problems. He may not even realize that he is running away. He may have chosen to ignore the fact that something is wrong, but this doesn’t mean he doesn’t love you. A man should never leave when there is a problem, instead he should find a way to solve it within the relationship by seeking your insight and help.

9. He has trust issues

A man left you because he does not trust you or does not feel comfortable being vulnerable around you. It may be difficult for him to open up about his feelings, which could be causing a strain in the relationship between the two of you. If a man cannot be himself, there is no reason for him to stay. It’s not your fault if he does not trust you and it is not your responsibility to make him feel safe and secure.

10. He has a low self-esteem

A man may have left you because he does not think that he deserves to be loved by you or if he doesn’t think he is good enough for you. A man should never leave when he is in need of support from his partner because it shows that he is willing to put himself last in order to maintain his own sanity. If he is not feeling good about himself, it is best to work on his self-image before looking forward to a relationship.

Finally

A man may leave a woman because she is not the right person for him, but if a man truly loves you, nothing will change that. If he leaves you should ask yourself what went wrong and why. It could be that he is unhappy with himself and has decided it’s better if you did not know the truth about his feelings. Whatever the reason may be, a man left because he is trying to protect himself. He is afraid of getting hurt or feels unworthy of your love.

You are an amazing woman who deserves to have someone in her life who will never leave her for good reasons. You deserve someone who will love you unconditionally and encourage you to do the same for him.
