Why Men Freak Out and Pull Away

MATTHEW HUSSEY
About this episode

You’ve just started seeing a guy you’re really into.  You just can’t get enough of each other. You spend night and day together.  You cancel plans with friends so you don’t miss a chance to see him.  Before you know it, you’ve got a toothbrush and a drawer of clothes at his place, and you’re wondering whether to say “I love you” (even though it’s only been a whirlwind few weeks).  Then suddenly, out of the blue, he starts ignoring your texts and phone calls.  He ditches plans with you to go out with the guys.  You can feel the shift: he’s starting to pull away from you.  In today’s LOVE Life I’m going to explain exactly WHAT is going on inside his head, WHY this is happening, and HOW you can get through this tricky phase with your relationship intact.  I’ll even give you a script of what to say to reverse the situation, create more attraction, and make your relationship even stronger than it was before.
