Often, a relationship that starts well can end with a sudden withdrawal from the partner. The person who once devoted themselves to you and made you feel special suddenly pulls away, stops paying attention to you, and in some cases, completely ignores you. Why does this happen and did you do something wrong? Here are some possible reasons and tips to better understand it:
He hasn't changed – he's just showing who he really is
Emotionally distant partners often start the relationship by showing their best side. They may talk about the future, but make no sustained effort to build it. When the relationship requires greater commitment and responsibility, they often withdraw. In fact, they're not changing—they're just unmasking.
It makes you think it's your fault
A person who suddenly ignores you often lets you know that their behavior is related to something you did. Start analyzing your every word and action, thinking that maybe a "mistake" on your part caused his withdrawal. This is a trick emotionally distant people often use to make you feel unappreciated and guilty.
The need to be in control
If you feel like you're in a situation where everything is in his hands and you're waiting for him to give you signals, you're in a relationship where he controls everything. He knows you want his attention, which makes him think he's in control. The more you ask for clarification, the more "power" you gain.
Don't expect straight explanations
A person who is not emotionally prepared will not give you honest explanations for their behavior. If you are looking for an answer that will fully explain his change, you must understand that he is not capable of committing or being stable in a deep relationship.
How to act in this situation:
Set your standards
Don't settle for a little attention. Only you can set the standards you deserve and accept no less.
Don't make it your fault
This situation is not about what you may or may not have done. The partner is emotionally distant and cannot provide you with what you are looking for.
Do not allow it to be unstable
A true relationship requires continuity and commitment. If your partner changes from day to day, it's time to think about whether you want to be in a relationship based on uncertainty and doubt.
In the end, ask yourself: are you asking the "cat" to bark? Cats will always meow and the same goes for those who are not emotionally prepared. Compromising yourself for someone who makes you feel unappreciated will never bring you the happiness you deserve.
