Why Does It Take Guys 8 Weeks To Miss You?
Many relationship experts recommend taking an 8-week break to make any man miss you, whether it’s your boyfriend, an ex-boyfriend, or a guy who is drifting away from you.
Many online forums are full of true stories about how their man began missing them after only 8 weeks of no interaction. So, what causes this? Why would it take 8 weeks for guys to miss you? Why is an 8-week/60-day no-contact rule strongly advised in order to entice your ex-boyfriend to return to you?
Let’s take a look at everything.
Is it true that it takes 8 weeks for a man to miss you? The Reality
Even though many women say that their man began missing them after 8 weeks, there is no strict rule for this.
Yes, every man is unique, and so every relationship is unique. A sensitive man, for example, may begin to miss his girl sooner than a less sensitive guy. Likewise, a guy who is emotionally invested in a relationship could miss his ex more than a man who is only in a casual relationship.
As such, the time it takes a guy to miss you will vary from case to case. However, if you look at real-life stories of men returning to their ex-wives, you’ll notice that most men went missing only 6 to 8 weeks after splitting up with their spouses. As a result, the 8-week rule is very common in making any guy miss you.
So, what causes this? Why doesn’t a man start missing a woman right away? Why would it take 8 weeks for guys to miss you? What is the true reason for this unusual act by so many males?

Why Does It Take Guys 8 Weeks To Miss You?
The 8-week rule, also known as the 60-day rule, rose to prominence after Dr. Pat Allen (a Los Angeles-based couples’ therapist and relationship expert) explained how a man’s brains work after leaving him unattended and why it tends to take 8 weeks for him to miss you.
Let me go over this step by step so you can understand.
Assume your man has left you and announced that he is going to break up with you. So now we’ll see how his brains work and what emotions he experiences…
Check out this review on the ex-factor guide about how to get your ex back
Stage 1: The Mind of Man from Day 1 to Week 2:
This is the critical period following the breakup. Because a breakup is a tense procedure for everyone, he now feels a sense of relief and is able to relax for a short period of time. If he is unsure about leaving you, he will try to persuade himself that the breakup will have no effect on him. He tells himself that even without you, he can be happy.
Stage 2: The mind of a man from Week 2 to Week 4/5:
Stage 1’s positive feelings and affirmations last for a few weeks. As the days pass, reality sets in, and mixed emotions begin to surface. This is the stage at which memories begin to knock on his mind’s door and your thoughts begin to fill his mind.
This is the stage in which he experiences a wide range of emotions at seemingly random times. While he may still affirm that he is happy for the relationship breakdown, he may also continue to bring up old memorable moments and conversations.
While mixed emotions persist throughout this stage, he will then progress to the next… The Stage That Is Missing…
Stage 3: The mind of a man from Week 5 to Week 8
This is the point at which he begins to accept the fact that you are no longer accessible to him as you once were. His emotional reserves are depleted as a result of the new reality, and things can become desperate. He gradually begins to miss you and the lovely memories you used to share with him. This is known as the missing stage because he begins to miss you throughout this time.
While he misses you, emotions such as anger, sadness, and resentment begin to surface in his mind. It may not be clear why, but he might try to get in touch with you through a random SMS or a phone call out of the blue. The fact that you are not responding to him adequately may cause him to become more concerned about losing you.
We consider this to be the most crucial stage because it is at this point that your man will make a decision whether or not to continue the relationship. He wants to calm down and get his emotions back on track because he is experiencing a roller coaster of emotions. As a result, he will eventually return to you and try to mend the relationship.
Stage 4: The Mind of Man After the eighth week
Your man can either return to you or will have moved on forever by this point. If he chooses to move on and end the relationship, he may not return because his extreme emotions have begun to fade as the days pass.
Conclusion:
You may have realized why it is unusual for men to miss you within several days of being separated from you. He may take some time, and his mind may go through all of the feelings (during the stages mentioned above) before he begins to miss you after 8 weeks. This is why guys miss you and return to you after 8 weeks. So be patient, and if he is meant to come back to you, he’ll come back to you.
Attention:
You’re hoping he’ll miss you.
