Why Your Partner Has Been Ignoring You

8 Surprising Reasons Why Your Man Has Been Ignoring You


Why Your Partner Has Been Ignoring You

It can be difficult to tell what makes a person act the way they do. Why there are sudden changes in their behavior without a clearly identifiable cause. This is especially hard when it comes from your partner.

Before you immediately begin to imagine the worst possible scenario, here are some of the most common reasons your man could be giving you the cold shoulder.

If You Feel Lonely In Your Relationship, These Are 4 Things To Do About It

1. He needs to breathe

Everyone needs a little breathing room sometimes. Do you and your man spend every waking moment together? Are you constantly texting and chatting on Instagram or whatsapp? Does it seem like the two of you are attached at the hip?

If this is you, then he could be ignoring you because he just needs a day to himself, some time to think on his own and to just breathe. Don’t take it personally; in fact, you should probably try to take a breather as well. Remember, you’re a couple not one person split in two.

2. He’s with his family

If your man is with his family, he could be ignoring you because of family drama. Remember that it can be a little difficult to break away from compulsory family time.

This is especially true around the holidays. If it’s Christmas Eve and your guy isn’t texting you back…then he’s probably doing a family chore and that, as you would admit, can require a person’s undivided attention.

3. He’s upset and doesn’t want to talk about it

I know some men who are open and honest with their emotions. In fact, they’re a little too open and honest with their feelings. We also know some men who are too closed off and it’s extremely difficult to get them to admit that something’s actually bothering them.

If you’re dating the non-emotional kind of guy, then he might be ignoring you so that he doesn’t have to “talk about his feelings”.

It’s quite possible that his feelings have absolutely nothing at all to do with you. In fact, he could be angry at the entire world, except you but still ignore you so that he doesn’t start an unnecessary argument.


4. He’s jealous

Have you been hanging out with the girls more often lately? Is there some new guy in your life who’s quickly becoming your confidante? If this is you, then your guy might be ignoring you because he’s jealous.

That’s right, when men are jealous there are a number of ways they show it, but ignoring you is one of the more commons displays of jealousy.

If this is the case, you might want to do a little more one on one quality time with your man and stop talking about your friends so much, or, invite him to go along with you and your friends once in a while.

5. He’s thinking of ending things

There are times when he’s ignoring you for reasons you don’t want to know. It could be that your man is ignoring you because he’s thinking of ending the relationship.

There are times when a man will ignore you because he doesn’t know how to end things, and times when he’ll ignore you because he wants YOU to get sick of him and end things so he doesn’t have to do so. Before you assume this is the reasons he’s ignoring you, talk to him and find out what’s really going on.

6. He’s just busy

It happens. It happens to us all the time! We get too busy to hang out with our friends, to update our whatsapp status, Your guy might just be busy, too.

7. You’ve been acting different lately

Before we put all the blame on him, have you been acting any differently lately? Are you taking longer to respond to his calls or texts? Have you been too busy to see him?

If you’re acting differently it could be giving him the impression that you feel as if something’s wrong in the relationship, and he could be ignoring you because he’s not sure how he should act at the moment.

Step back and assess your own actions lately and see if that’s not where the problem actually is.

8. His friends are affecting his decisions

If your guy has been hanging out with his friends more often than usual and he’s just started ignoring you, then it’s possible his friends have something to do with this.

Maybe they’re trying to convince him that he’s better off single. Maybe they’re trying to convince him that you’re not the right girl for him, or maybe he’s just seeing the joy and glamour of that bachelor life and is having some relationship doubts.
