Harsh But Real Reasons Men Leave Women

They want a young mom
Some men are crazy about a woman, but they know that by the time they’ve dated for a while, lived together and gotten married, she would be older than the woman they envisioned having children with.
They cannot handle her moods
It’s sad and not necessarily fair, but some men cannot stay with a woman who deals with depression, anxiety, or even just drastic shifts in mood. They don’t like wondering if every day they’ll need to cancel their plans to play therapist. Again, it’s not fair, but it’s a thing that happens.
She’s not quite crazy enough
Then you have men who love themselves some crazy. Some men crave women who put them in their place, get jealous and act a little controlling. Might those men need therapy? Yes, and there are a lot of them.
She’s done something f-cked up in the past
Men aren’t always as forgiving as women are. A lot of men are terrified if they know a woman cheated on a past partner. They don’t understand female infidelity, and they just think it will happen again.

She wants to work forever
There are some old-fashioned types who want a woman who promises to quit working when they get married or have children. If the woman won’t, the man leaves. Good riddance to him, right?

She doesn’t want to work
In general, a man shouldn’t have a say in whether or not his partner works. If a woman has plenty of money saved up or has a trust fund and would rather do philanthropic work than for-profit work, she should get to do that. But some men won’t be with a woman who doesn’t make an income.

She lets herself go
It always pains me to have to write about this anywhere, but unfortunately, plenty of men have no issue admitting, “I left my wife because she let herself go.” Surely the man’s six-pack is on point…not.

She has too many male admirers
Men can have some pretty big egos. Sometimes, it doesn’t matter if a woman is clearly loyal and honest–if she has too many other men after her, her partner won’t want to deal with it.

She talks about house stuff too much
Many men complain that their partners became their roommate and that all they would talk about was toilet paper consistency, dirty dishes, and laundry detergent. The magic just…went away.

She loses her social life
A lot of men can get nervous when their partner loses her own identity and social life. Nobody wants to feel that their partner depends on them for human interaction.

She’s not a good nurturer
While men don’t want to play therapist to a depressed woman, they certainly want someone to play mommy to them when they’re down. Men will often leave women if those women don’t do a good job of nurturing and babying them when they’re upset.

She doesn’t believe in him
A man doesn’t want to be with a woman who doesn’t believe in his dreams. If he senses his partner doesn’t think he’s the best at what he does and doesn’t believe he will succeed, he won’t stick around.

She didn’t want a family
Some men really really want to be fathers, and their partners simply don’t want that. For those men, a healthy, loving, romantic relationship just isn’t enough.

She dominated his social calendar
If a man wakes up every day to new events added to his calendar that he didn’t put there, he may feel suffocated and bolt.
