What to do when your boyfriend is withdrawn from you?
First, remember that his situation is tough for him (independent of whether or not he’s in a relationship). It’s important that you don’t take his being withdrawn personally. It’s most likely not about you at all. When a woman is upset about something, most women talk to their friends and lean on their support group.
Why does my ex boyfriend disappear and never come back?
The reasons don’t matter, the facts do. If he disappears, it’s because he isn’t the right guy for you. If he was the right guy for you…well he would be with you! He wouldn’t have come up with a list of reasons to never see or speak to you again, and proceed to never see or speak to you again.
With that said, when a guy is under a lot of emotional or psychological stress, he will want to withdraw socially until he’s figured out his situation. Guys don’t like to be around people when they don’t think they’re at the top of their game.
