The Excuse He’ll Use To Break Up With You, Based On His Zodiac Sign

Aries:

“I’m not fully ready to give you what you want yet. Maybe we can try again sometime in the future.”

An Aries man uses this as an excuse to break up with you, but what he’s really saying is, “I want to explore other options in case there is someone better out there for me (but I want to leave the door open in case I decide to come back).” He believes that he can always do better and find better, and that’s why it’s hard for him to devote himself completely to one woman only.

Taurus:

“I am not financially ready yet to start a family and give you the home you deserve.”

In this case, it might not be an excuse since Taurus men tend to be very calculated in their decisions and finances are always their top concern. However, he could also be using this as an excuse to exit nicely (instead of saying out loud that he no longer has feelings for you).

Gemini:

“I just want to be single right now, focus on my career, and travel with my friends.”

A Gemini man changes his mind a lot, so it’s not uncommon for him to change careers or decide that he doesn’t want to be tied down just yet. He will blame it on his unpredictable lifestyle and tell you that he’s better off single. But the truth is that he just doesn’t want to commit exclusively to anyone or label his relationship with you (or anyone else).

Cancer:

“I’ve been hurt too many times before and I still need more time to heal.”

Yes, he has, and it could be true, but sometimes he can exaggerate his pain or make it sound more dramatic than what it is to end the relationship. He does this so he doesn’t have to make you feel like you weren’t good enough or tell you that he just fell out of love.

Leo:

“You’re not fighting for me enough and you don’t give me the time and attention I need from you.”

Leo men can’t do mediocre relationships. You either adore him and make him feel cherished or you don’t exist to him. He wants to be your top priority and everything to you. If he doesn’t feel this way, he will break up with you because he needs that constant reassurance and attention.

Virgo:

“Let’s take our time with this connection and be friends first before telling everyone we’re together.”

Virgo men don’t really like excuses and they’re straightforward. However, they won’t break up with you abruptly but they will try to change the dynamic of the relationship by being less available and acting more like a friend so he doesn’t hurt your feelings.

Libra:

“I need more space and freedom in my life right now. I don’t want to feel tied down.”

Libra men love their freedom and they enjoy going out, meeting new people, and having the freedom to go anywhere they want. As such, his excuse might be valid. However, part of it is also his curiosity to know what’s out there and if there is someone more compatible with him.

Scorpio:

“I just don’t feel like I trust you anymore, and without trust, there is no future in this relationship. “

A Scorpio man is witty and can be manipulative at times, he tends to blame it on you even though he’s the one not to be trusted. This is his way of turning the tables on you so he doesn’t feel like the bad guy. He wants to convince you that this is a real reason to break up (and that it’s all your fault).

Sagittarius:

“I think I need more space in my life right now to travel more. I don’t think I can commit to a serious relationship at the moment.”

He is going to use his personality as an excuse because everyone knows that the Sagittarius man loves to travel alone and explore new adventures. So, you can’t say he’s lying. That said, he would settle down if he was sure you were the one. However, this is his way of saying I’m not sure you’re the one yet, so let me figure things out on my own.

Capricorn:

“I have to dedicate more time to my job now after this promotion I just landed, so it’s going to be difficult to give you what you want.”

A Capricorn man will use work as an excuse to get out of anything because he is a workaholic and puts his career first. He could make more time if he felt like the connection was irreplaceable, but his practical nature makes him less emotional. He doesn’t really hold on to anyone (and he’s probably secretly crushing on his new coworker).

Aquarius:

“I am scared of commitment because I’ve never been good at it and all my previous relationships failed.”

An Aquarius man will victimize himself to get out of commitment because he’d rather blame it on himself than tell you that he has no feelings for you. He’s going to make it sound like he has to work on himself first before he can be with someone else, but the truth is he just lost interest and maybe started having feelings for your friend.

Pisces:

“I really want to be with you but I am not over my ex.”

A Pisces man doesn’t move on from his exes easily. His ex is still involved in his life one way or another, so he’s going to use her as an excuse that he doesn’t want to hurt you and say he’s not over her yet. This gives him more time to decide who he wants to be with. Also, he could be genuinely trying to win his ex back.
