5 Mistakes Women Make When Men Pull Away After Getting Close
Avoid these emotional traps that push him further away from you

Does your heart desire to bring the person who is slowly drifting away from you closer to you again? Do you wonder why men pull away after getting close, or why he feels distant even when things are going well? If yes, then this article is for you. Today we will share five such special secrets that will not only bring him back to you but will also make your relationship deeper, loving and happier. These secrets became special for me when my wife used them to rekindle the fire in me that keeps our relationship strong and happy forever. I'm Brody Boyd, and I'm going to tell you how these secrets can work wonders for you too.
5th Secret: The heart of a man and a woman beats differently
The first thing you need to understand is that men and women think and feel very differently. Every man has a masculine passion within him, and every woman has a delicate, feminine energy within her. When you understand this difference, you can treat a man in a way that will draw him closer to you. It all comes down to the "Law of Polarity"—two opposite poles of a magnet attract each other. The masculine passion of a man and your delicate feminine energy is the magic that keeps the attraction, passion and love alive for a long time.
The beautiful thing is that you don't have to change him. Just change yourself. If you open your heart, embrace your feminine energy, and call him with warmth and openness, he will automatically find the inspiration to be a protector, a support, and a hero to you. He will take responsibility for carrying the relationship forward, and the relationship between you two will begin to flow like a beautiful dance.
4th Secret: It is not your desire that will bring him inspiration, but your love
It is important to understand that he will not come to you just because you want him to. He will come if you inspire him. Many times we mistakenly try to control a man, to guide him or make him do something. But this is masculine energy—to take action, achieve goals and make things right. On the other hand, feminine energy is about openness, detachment from results, and sharing what is in your heart gently.
When you try to scold him, complain or get his way, he either pulls away after getting close or starts fighting. Instead, motivate him. Share your feelings gently. Tell him what you need, but in a way that makes him want to do something for you. For example, if you need help, say, “Can I ask you for something?” or “Can you help me a little?” This small gesture will make him feel like he can be your hero. When he does something for your happiness, his heart opens up more to you.
3rd Secret: His investment will make him appreciate you
Think about it, when a person invests money, time or effort in something, he appreciates it. Like when a person buys a house, he takes care of it, decorates it because he has put his heart into it. Similarly, if a man does not invest in your relationship, he will not appreciate you. As the old saying goes, “Why buy the cow when the milk is free?”
Inspire him to invest. Start with small things. Ask him for help. For example, “There is something wrong with my car, can you take a look at it?” or “I need your advice on this.” When you use his skills, he feels he can do something special for you. This triggers his “hero instinct.” He will want to do more for you because he will feel he is adding value to your life. And the more he invests, the more he will appreciate you.
2nd Secret: Earn her trust and respect
Every man's deepest desire is trust and respect. When you give him this, he is filled with love and devotion for you. It's like a dance—if you want him to lead the relationship, you have to trust him. If you oppose him every step of the way, criticize him, or tell him he's wrong, he will either pull away after getting close or the relationship will become a battle.
Look for trustworthy and respectful qualities in him. Compliment him. Tell him what you like about him. For example, "I felt so good when you opened the door for me." or "You fixed my car, that made me feel so relieved, thank you." These little things let him know that you appreciate him. And when he feels that, he'll want to do more for you.
If he's not trustworthy or respectful, set boundaries for yourself. A true, self-respecting woman would never stay in a relationship that doesn't make her happy. But if he's right for you, give him the trust and respect that will make him your hero.
1st Secret: Open your true heart
The last and most important secret is to open your heart completely. A man wants to see your heart. Every emotion you have—happiness, sadness, fear, anger—is beautiful to him, provided you share it in the right way. If you say, “You made me sad,” or “You’re not a good partner,” he will feel guilty and pull away after getting close. Instead, share your feelings with “I.” For example, “I’m feeling sad,” or “I’m feeling a little scared.”
This way lets him reach your heart without feeling like you're trying to control him. Your vulnerability, your openness, your truth—these are the things that draw him closer to you. If you’d like to understand this emotional dynamic on a deeper level, this guide might help you connect with him better. He wants to be your "knight in shining armor." He wants to help you, make you happy. And when you open your heart like this, he's automatically willing to do anything for you.
Now it’s your turn
