Are you in a romantic relationship and wondering why your partner suddenly started avoiding you? This did not happen accidentally; something must have spurred this attitude in them.

This avoidance is usually a way of letting you know what they can and cannot tolerate. Sometimes it's a sign that they want you to change.

Most of the time, you may not know that these attitudes annoy your partner. This is why you need to take note of them.


You play the blame game.


 
You make them feel guilty about your own mistakes. Instead of apologizing, you explain why it was their fault.

They are always the first to apologize whenever there's a disagreement between you two or when things go wrong. If this has gotten to a stage where they can't take it anymore, they will start avoiding you.

Make sure you always take responsibility for your words and actions. Try to apologize when you realize your faults. It doesn't affect your reputation. It improves intimacy in your relationship.


Being too judgemental can also make them avoid you. If you always find something wrong in what they do or say, it makes them feel that they are not good enough for you.

Another thing that makes your partner avoid you is when you are too possessive. This means you always make them feel you have the power to tell them what to do and what not to do.

This makes your partner feel trapped in the relationship, and they are not able to make decisions or express their opinions. They want to be with someone who gives them freedom and appreciates them.


 

Just allow them to be spontaneous without being forced to do anything you want. Relate with them based on their own timing. Respect their decision even if it doesn't make sense.

If you are someone who has a short fuse, this can drive your partner away from you.

When you easily get angry, it affects healthy communication in your relationship, especially if your partner is someone who doesn't like arguments.


Raising your voice at them can make them hide in their shell because it makes them feel belittled. Even when you mean to say something beneficial to them, they will assume that you are talking them down.

Just be patient and try to display gentleness whenever you're dealing with them and lower the tone of your voice. This won't make your partner avoid you.
