9 Reasons Why He’s Pulling Away From You
3. The sexual attraction is fading
The most common initial attraction between two people is sexual. Just like the original iPhone, it’s special and exciting at first… but a month or two goes by and you find yourself already wanting the newer model. At the beginning of a relationship our brain produces dopamine which has effects much like an opiate (i.e. heroin). You feel alive and “high,” in absolute bliss. Your man feels this too, which makes your mutual attraction so strong. However, after about 4-6 months, dopamine stops being released in both of your brains and suddenly the closeness and attraction may not be as instant. If this is where it fades, then maybe it was your brains doing all the work, and now its up to you two to keep the fire alive through work. See point number 2.
