Why are so many men oblivious when their wife/girlfriend has checked out of the relationship?

I think the common problem is wives and girlfriends unable to communicate properly and who are often so self-centered that assume that other people, first of all their partner, is supposed to cater to every mood swing they have.

Thus in the mind of these women, not noticing the state of mind of the woman is failing what they see as the basis of all relationship, that men are here to serve them. Thus an inattentive servant is a bad servant.

Often they will be gas light you.

It’s called Hypergamy or Monkey Branching. Not a big deal. My value increases 3 fold every time a chick bails on me. ‘From The Streets They Did Emerge and To The Streets They Shall Return.’. SEP. Somebody Else’s Problem.

Not bringing up such issues in the first place, we're not cute enough to be forgiven for our insecurities

...lying. It makes a lot of things happen that don't make sense.

Men have a distinct tendency to not throw away things that are broken, in the forever mentality that in time, we can probably fix it. For good or worse.

I doubt they are oblivious. They must have noticed some signs, they were just hoping it is not that bad.

Tbf, we can check out too.

Because the signs often manifest in non-verbal cues and emotional games which have no clear meaning.

Do yourself a favor and don't tolerate mind games. Instead, train your GF to express herself clearly with words like an adult.

Perhaps they think that it’s a normal ebb and flow of the relationship.

They hide it well, they will continue as if nothing is wrong and then take that step when they are ready and you are caught off guard.

When I confronted my ex when I discovered her cheating.. she claimed that she had been wanting out for a couple years already.. but as far as I could tell, there was nothing wrong. Everything was good.

The only thing was that she wanted to get away from the stress of work and I bought into it.. Thinking I was supporting her, and her mental and emotional health.. to only find out, it was her way to get out and see other men.

Usually the man is being manipulated. Most times it's because there is really nothing the mam can do. Most women are allowed to have male friends in a relationship but men are rarely allowed to have female friends. This is designed to keep the man lonely. The woman has built a network that allows her to easily jump into another man's arms to satisfy the humans needs for physical touch.

If you romanticize/idealize your woman, you won't be rational and critical of your partner. If you are a skeptical person, you would obviously understand your women's behavior and action.

The men, who are you talking about, who ignored the barrage of red flags by their women thrown around them ;)

Simply put itll never change because women are experts at it and never really fall in love like men do. Women dont like you they like what you can do for them
