Reasons Why Women Leave Relationships
In our article on reasons why men leave relationships, we examined some serious reasons why men often leave relationships and in this article, we want to delve equally into probable reasons why women leave relationships with the hope of uncovering some truths that might help us in improving our relationships.
For many men it might be really daunting understanding why a woman would leave a relationship. Once in a while a woman may leave a man for no apparent reason but really it is rare that a woman would leave a relationship without a pretty serious reason for doing so.
A woman may leave a man for various reasons but below we are going to talk a little bit more on two of the leading reasons that majorly account for why women leave relationships and these are the issues of neglect or abandonment and lack of emotional satisfaction.
Neglect or Abandonment
Women often complain that the men in their lives just stop being the active participant they used to be in the relationship and tend to pay more attention to things that most women contend are just trivial compared to the roles they play in the relationship.
When a woman starts feeling that her spouse has started taking her for granted in no small ways and no longer pays her attention or care about her opinion on issues concerning the relationship, she starts pondering on why she is hanging on to it. When a man stops doing the things he used to do for his woman without any justifiable reasons given to her for his actions, this create a serious problem for the woman and her mind at this point might have already left the relationship.
Most time after too much of neglect, most women just hang around hoping that she might get his attention, make him listen to her and probably have a change of heart in the way he treats her. However, this is not always the case, as most men never realises this neglect and simply just demises her intention.
Therefore neglect can be statistically said to accounts for almost all of the reasons why women leave relationships and therefore it goes saying that women leave men when they are neglected.
Lack of Emotional Satisfaction
Due to the way nature has wired women differently from men, they think and reason a bit differently. Testosterone which is the dominant hormone makes the men to act and think masculine making them aggressive and sexually stimulated by sight. The women’s dominant hormone estrogens makes them rather act like females they are causing them to want attention, kind gestures, affection nice words, compliments and things like flowers. These differences in hormonal makeup make the men to be cold and calculative while the women tend to be warm and emotional.
The lack of understanding of this natural phenomenon can cause a lot of rancour in a relationship. Men often think that when a woman is involved with them sexually that the woman is emotionally in tuned to them. This is not always so as it is not the sex that makes the relationship great for her even though it plays a part in it, it is having her general emotional needs satisfied that is paramount.
The need for communication in a relationship is the most important emotional need a woman needs to be fulfilled in a relationship. She needs the man to wholeheartedly listen to her, value her input in discussions.
Also men who consider their partner’s feelings and opinions during decision making create an atmosphere for understanding, emotional bonding, intimacy and romantic love and thus they can effectively fulfil their partner’s emotional needs.
Having Great but Unrealistic Expectation
No matter how ironic you may think it is, a lot women still dream of their “Knight in shining armour” and the “happy-ever-after” when it comes to relationship. They still dream of these fairy tale expectations in their relationships.
When a woman with these ideals that are nowhere close to real life demands them from her man, there would definitely be problems in that relationship and most of them might be impossible for the man to live up to. The best the man can do in a situation like this is to try and understands what exactly her expectations are and try compromising in try to satisfy her.
Pressure from friends and relatives
Although this might sound a little trivial, it is a fact that a lot of women without personal conviction about their place in a relationship may easily succumb to pressure from their peers or family members. However unfair it might seem, this is often the case when she cannot make her friends or family members to like her spouse. Except her love is strong willed and she is deeply attracted to the man, the manipulation of her peer group and family may become unbearable for her and thus she might leave the relationship.
Lack of Attraction
To be just here, just as men would contemplate leaving a relationship where the attraction between partners no longer exists, a woman might likely be tempted to leave a relationship that has become more a chore than fun.
A man that is all out to please his woman without adding any form spontaneity to it risk losing the attraction her holds for his woman since these acts some become mundane and uninteresting. A man should seek ways to bring variety into the relationship and have a sense of confidence, direction and strength to lead the relationship in the right direction.
