10 reasons why he left you even if he says he loves you

Did you get dumped by someone who said he loved you?

This situation is never easy, and quite frankly, it hurts a lot.

So: why did he do it? Here are 10 reasons he left you even if he said he loves you!

1) You’re not the one and he doesn’t see a future with you

The first reason he left you is that maybe you’re not the one for him.

It sounds harsh, but it’s true.

He isn’t in love with you and he doesn’t see a future together.

You see, some guys will realize that your futures are incompatible and break up even though they still love you.

I know it doesn’t feel that way right now, but if you think about it, he is probably doing you a huge favor.

If you have different ideas of the future or just aren’t “the one”, then dragging out the relationship in hopes for things to change will not do either of you any good, believe me!

You should take this as a sign that it’s time to move on!

You deserve someone who sees the potential of your life together, someone who wants to grow old with you, and someone who wants to work through all the challenges that come your way.

And he deserves that, too.

So instead of having a mediocre relationship together – if you really love each other you want to see each other thrive, even if it’s with someone else.

2) He doesn’t want to commit

One of the most common reasons why he left you even if he said he loved you is that he doesn’t want to commit.

He may be afraid to take the next step in a relationship and things are going really well now, so he avoids it.

You might not have even realized that this was his fear because he might not have said anything about it.

Many guys suffer from a fear of commitment, and it can really put a burden on relationships.

Ultimately, if he doesn’t want to commit, then you need to accept that and move on before you waste more time.

Don’t try to force him to commit. It won’t work anyway, and it will just cause both of you to be unhappy in the relationship.

The good news?

Just because he doesn’t want to commit doesn’t mean he was lying when he said he loved you.

And who knows? If you give him time and space, maybe he will come around a few months or years from now (given that you are still available, of course).

I wouldn’t bet on it, though. Live your own life and don’t get hung up on him in the meantime.

Whatever is meant to be, will be.

3) He needs space

Another reason he acted the way he did is that it’s not so much that he doesn’t love you, it’s just that you two need some time apart.

He needs time to think about what he wants with his life, time to figure out his next steps.

In any case, it’s not that he doesn’t love you, it’s just that he needs some space right now – even if it hurts.

Having a loved one who wants space can be an incredibly painful experience and it’s extremely hard not to take it personally and look for what you did wrong.

But believe me, if a guy needs some space, more often than not it’s about him more than you!

He just needs to figure himself out and if he’s not ready for a relationship, then you both will be better off if you give him some space.

If he wants to be with you, he will come back.

You just need to remember that if he’s not ready for a relationship, it doesn’t mean that you aren’t good enough.

He just needs more time to work through his issues.

Think about it: it’s really hard to pour from an empty cup, so perhaps he just needs some time to fill up his own cup again.

And if you want him back?

In this situation, there’s only one thing to do – re-spark his romantic interest in you.

I learned about this from Brad Browning, who has helped thousands of men and women get their exes back.

He goes by the moniker of “the relationship geek”, for good reason.

In this free video, he’ll show you exactly what you can do to make your ex want you again.

No matter what your situation is — or how badly you’ve messed up since the two of you broke up — he’ll give you a number of useful tips that you can apply immediately.

4) He Wants to See Other Women

One of the most common reasons why a guy would leave you even if he said he loved you is that he wants to see other women.

He may not feel like dating just one girl.

Some guys are just looking to have fun, without any strings attached.

Dating one woman can make them feel too committed.

Sometimes there are things in their past that prevent them from feeling fully ready for a relationship.

If this is the case for your guy, then it’s best to let him go and find someone who will be more committed to being with you.

However, it obviously depends. If his reason for leaving you is because he wants to be with other women, you could think about whether you are curious about an open relationship.

If you are, then you could consider talking to him about it and seeing if that is something you can agree on.

I want to mention here that you do not, by any means, need to do this, though.

Everybody has different boundaries, and if the thought of him being with someone else kills you inside, then an open relationship is definitely not the right way to go for you.

Don’t neglect your needs just to make him happy.

5) He got cold feet

Another reason why he left you even though he said he loves you is that he got cold feet.

Maybe he did love you, but he just wasn’t ready to commit.

This is especially true if you have only been dating for a short time.

It’s not uncommon for people to feel like they are in a relationship before they’ve even gotten to know each other well enough.

Maybe he thinks that being with you will make him vulnerable and that he won’t be able to keep his guard up, so he feels like it’s best if he leaves now before things get too serious.

However, this can also happen when you’ve been together for a really long time already.

All of a sudden he realized how much he loves you and that the next step is probably heading towards marriage, and he started panicking.

With the panic, he got cold feet and felt like he had to leave.

If this is the case, you should try to get him to talk about what’s going on in his head.

You can’t fix it if you don’t know what’s wrong.

In that case, you will need to decide what you want to do. Do you want to be with someone who runs from you due to fear of committing?

These things can be figured out and talked about, but in the end, you should always make sure that you’re looking out for yourself.

6) He’s not emotionally ready for a relationship

Relationships are a lot of work, but if he’s not emotionally ready for one it can cause problems.

Men have been socialized to be providers and protectors, so they may feel an obligation to always be the “strong” one.

If he’s had bad experiences in the past or has been hurt badly, he may have issues with commitment or intimacy that make him feel like it’s too much work.

This could be the reason he left, even though he said he loves you.

Do you want to know the truth?

You can’t force someone to be emotionally ready for a relationship, that is work they have to do internally.

You can, however, make sure that you’re emotionally ready for a relationship yourself.

If you are, then you will attract guys who are, too.

7) The relationship progressed in ways he didn’t like

He may have felt he had to resort to breaking up with you because the relationship progressed in ways he didn’t like.

He may have wanted a future that includes marriage and kids, but you didn’t, or the relationship itself just turned into something he didn’t want at the time.

This has nothing to do with you, and more with him and his expectations.

Try not to worry about it.

Men are always a bit insecure and will test the waters before they commit.

You will find someone who is ready for you soon enough, and your relationship will be exactly what they’re looking for!

8) The relationship became an emotional burden

A common reason why a guy may leave a relationship is when it becomes an emotional burden.

You see, relationships, unfortunately, don’t always add to your happiness, sometimes they do more harm than good.

If you’re sad, angry, and hurt in your relationship, it can be very hard to see the other person happy.

This may have been the reason he left.

Or perhaps he just noticed that the behavior of both of you was unhealthy to the point where it hurt you both.

Once a relationship is an emotional burden, it’s best to take a step back and take some space, even if you love the other person dearly.

If it’s meant to be, you will find your way back together eventually.

And if you feel like you’ve had enough time to heal on your own?

Rather than leaving it up to fate to decide, why not take things into your own hands and find a way to get through to your ex?

I mentioned Brad Browning earlier – he’s an expert in relationships and reconciliation.

His practical tips have helped thousands of men and women not only reconnect with their exes but to rebuild the love and commitment they once shared.

9) He feels like you were taking him for granted

Maybe your partner is no longer feeling the love you used to feel for him.

He could be thinking that you’re taking him for granted and not appreciating him the way you did at first.

For example, he might believe he’s been making all of this effort to make you happy and he feels like you’re never giving anything back in return.

When a man doesn’t feel appreciated anymore, it doesn’t matter how much he loves you, he will feel like leaving.

Think about it: did you take him for granted?

A few things to look out for are:

• did you say “thank you” or “I appreciate you” frequently?
• did you do nice things for him sometimes, just because?
• did you tell him how much he means to you?

You see, especially in long-term relationships, it can be hard to not fall into a rut and follow your routine.

You stop appreciating the other person and everything is taken for granted as part of your routine.

For a healthy relationship, you need to continuously work on appreciating the other person.

10) The relationship was toxic and you’re better off being separated

The last reason he might have left is that although he loves you, he knows that the relationship became toxic.

For example, if your partner constantly criticizes you and doesn’t trust you, this might be a sign of a toxic relationship.

Certain behaviors are categorized as toxic, and maybe you recognize some of them:

• controlling behavior
• mistrust
• gaslighting
• hiding things from your partner
• codependence

The thing is, even though it feels rough now, if your relationship really was toxic, you might be better off separated for now.

You see, toxic behavior often stems from an unhealed wound. So, if you feel like your relationship has become toxic, taking some time apart could help you both heal!

And who knows, maybe you will eventually get back together!

You will be okay

I know this is a tough time, but no matter where you stand right now, you will be okay eventually.

For now, you should focus on yourself and healing your own wounds.

This time of separation can be useful and productive if you use it as such!

Don’t be afraid of being alone, you will be okay.

However, at some point, you might feel like you want your ex back.

Before you take action, ask yourself if you are truly ready for this step.

Sometimes, we just miss our ex but in reality, we aren’t actually ready to be in a relationship again.

But if you really want to get your ex back, you’re going to need a bit of help.

And the best person to turn to is Brad Browning.

No matter how ugly the breakup was, how hurtful the arguments were, he’s developed a couple of unique techniques to not only get your ex back but to keep them for good.

So, if you’re tired of missing your ex and want to start afresh with them, I’d highly recommend checking out his incredible advice.
