Men - Do You Know Why Women Leave?

While this may seem to be an overly broad, sweeping generalization, the way that men and women think and act are very different. And just as important, the way that men and women communicate is also very different from one another. Although no general statement will ever apply in all situations, women think more with their emotions than men do, and women talk in emotional language. Why is this important to you?



If you are a man, and you are faced with the prospect that the woman in your life is going to leave you, or has already left, this difference is very important for you to understand.



The reason for that is because the reason why women leave men is almost always based on their emotional needs. If she is leaving, it usually means that her emotional needs as she sees them are not being met.



One of the ways you will hear a woman express this is through her calling you insensitive, or saying things that indicate that she doesn't think you are sensitive to her feelings. She may accuse you of saying something mean and not apologizing, which may have left you wondering either what you said that was mean, or what about it was mean.



She may say you ignore her when she is having a bad day. These are the types of signs that suggest she thinks you are being insensitive.



Another common complaint is emotional or physical distance. If she complains that the only time you ever touch her is when you want sex, or that you don't talk to her about things the way you used to, she may be feeling that you are becoming distant, either emotionally, physically, or both. Since women need to have an emotional connection in a relationship, this can easily lead to her walking out.



However, the primary complaint overall, which encompasses almost all of the emotional components, including the ones already mentioned, is neglect. When a woman says she feels you are growing apart, she feels neglected. When she feels like you'd rather sit and watch television rather than talk to her, she feels neglected. When you don't share the other parts of your life with her, she feels neglected. This feeling of neglect is the primary driving force leading women to leave.



So how can knowing this help you? Once you understand that she feels neglected, you need to make her feel wanted and loved again.



While this may seem like an insurmountable hurdle to most men, it really isn't as difficult as you might think. You made her feel wanted when you were courting. You showed her that you were interested by actually being interested. Take an interest in your woman. Talk to her about your day, and listen to her about hers. Don't fake it - really and truly listen. Just that small step can make a big difference.
