What to Expect When an Aquarius Man is Heartbroken

Aquarius men hate outward displays of emotion. Even if he’s completely insecure and torn up inside after a breakup, you won’t be able to tell. He won’t be public about his heartbreak.

If you see him in public and he acts as if nothing happened, don’t be surprised! He’s not going to mope in front of you. He won’t act angry or ignore you either.

Aquarius men often move on from heartbreak quickly. They hate to dwell on something once it’s over. He’ll work on himself and get over it as fast as he can.

Acts Like Nothing Happened

If you walk away from an Aquarius man and end your relationship, the entire world isn’t going to know about it a few hours later.

He might take a bit to change his relationship status to single. He doesn’t do this because he’s pretending you’re still together. He just doesn’t always want people to know right away.

Some men will tell all their friends and family immediately. Aquarius is not one of those people. Don’t be surprised if you have to tell your friends you’ve broken up.

He won’t lie if asked about it. He won’t actively pretend like you’re still in a relationship. He just wants to be able to process things before he tells the world you two broke up.

If he is dealing with something else, he is also likely to put his feelings on the backburner until he has the time to deal with them.

Acts Unemotional

Even if an Aquarius man is still in love with his ex, he’s not going to act like it. He’s going to push down those feelings and act like they aren’t there.

Aquarius men are good at hiding their feelings, just like all air signs are. If he doesn’t want to feel something, he’ll be able to push the feelings down at least for a little while.

You are never going to see him cry over you. You’re not going to see any public displays of heartbreak. He won’t post online or complain anywhere you might see.

He won’t even act emotional in front of mutual friends unless he trusts them not to say anything to you.

He does this partially because sometimes, he has to save things to deal with for later. If he’s got other things going on in his life, he might not be able to process his heartbreak right away.

He’ll Feel Insecure

Even when an Aquarius man breaks up with you, he might feel insecure about the fact that his relationship ended.

He might think over all the things he did wrong in the relationship. He’ll do this even more if you were the one who ended things or if you cheated on him.

He’s not used to feeling insecure. He is normally a confident, free spirit who doesn’t care what other people think about him.

If he was really invested in the relationship, though, it ending is going to feel like a failure.

He might get over his insecurities and realize that you two just drifted apart or weren’t incompatible. He might also decide that he needs to do some self-improvement. It could go either way.

Becomes Detached

An Aquarius man’s ex-boyfriend behavior is very detached.

He won’t block you everywhere or badmouth you to all his friends. Even if you did something wrong that ended the relationship, he’s not going to air your dirty laundry to the world.

If he sees you at a party he won’t ignore you entirely but he’ll be polite in a detached sort of way. He won’t go out of his way to interact with you but if you approach him, he’ll be kind. He won’t be warm, though.

Even if you two stay friends, don’t expect him to be affectionate with you. He’s going to keep some distance between the two of you for his own sake.

He’ll Miss His Friend

When an Aquarius man misses you after a breakup, one of the things he’ll miss the most is the friendship you two had.

Aquarius men truly value the friendship they have with their partners. When they break up with somebody, they aren’t just losing a partner, they’re losing one of their best friends.

He’s going to mourn the friendship just as much as the romantic relationship.

There were probably things he could talk to you about that he couldn’t talk about anyone else with. You likely knew secrets nobody else knew. He had a special connection with you based on not just romance but friendship as well.

Even if you two remain friends, things won’t be the same. He may feel awkward or like he can’t talk to you about certain things he could when you were in a relationship.

Looks For Support

An Aquarius man letting go of love following a breakup will need support from his friends.

He won’t act emotional in front of you. He won’t post on social media about how sad he is. He will reach out to people who care about him privately, though.

An Aquarius man does know that he can’t handle everything by himself. Even if he distances himself and hides his feelings at first, he eventually will reach out and ask for support from his friends and family.

He is more likely to reach out to friends you two don’t have in common. He doesn’t want anything to get back to you, even accidentally.

When his relationship ends, he’s likely missing one of the people he used to always go for emotional support. He’ll have to get used to reaching out to other people and dealing with things without his former partner.

Goes Out

Many Aquarius men are social people. When he’s feeling down, sometimes going out and doing something to distract himself is just what he needs.

He might avoid places you two used to go together but not always. If you see him at a bar you two used to go to together, don’t be surprised.

He just wants to have fun. He wants to lose himself in something for a while instead of focusing on his heartbreak.

He might go out on dates too. He won’t necessarily be looking for something serious right away. Flirting with somebody and feeling wanted will do wonders when it comes to making him feel better, though.

If you see him out enjoying his life after a breakup, just let him be. He likely is heartbroken, even if it doesn’t seem like it. He just needs to deal with it in his own way.

Won’t Dwell On Things

An Aquarius man isn’t going to obsess over a breakup.

He might consider where things went wrong, decide he needs to make some changes in life, or reach out for emotional support. He’s not going to let it take over his life, though.

He might be sad. He might be angry. He knows that those feelings won’t last forever and he won’t let them stop him from living his life.

An Aquarius man isn’t the type of ex who will reach out to you months later asking where things went wrong.

If you two stay friends, he’s not going to dwell on the fact that you two used to date. He is going to focus on the friendship going forward. He won’t avoid all talk of your previous relationship but he’s not going to constantly get nostalgic.

Focuses On Himself

When an Aquarius man is done with you, one of the first things he’ll do is take some time for himself.

Aquarius men want to improve the world and self-improvement is also important to them.

He prides himself on certain things and if he feels like he came up short in any area of your relationship, he’ll want to work on fixing that.

If he wasn’t as dependable as he wanted to be when you two were together, he’ll do things to change that and become a more dependable person.

If he thought his selfish side came out, he’ll do things to be more giving with the people around him.

It won’t fix your former relationship but self-improvement will help him to feel better about himself and be a better partner in the future.

Moves On Quickly

An Aquarius man moving on often doesn’t take too long. A Cancer man might dwell on things and take forever to get over something. An Aquarius man will work hard to get over a breakup quickly.

If you see your Aquarius man in a rebound relationship, don’t be surprised. He might not be ready for another long-term relationship but he’ll have no problem having a bit of fun even if you two just broke up.

Do Aquarius men miss their ex? They do! That doesn’t stop them from getting over the relationship, though. Even if he misses you, he’s not going to let that keep him from working on himself and moving on.
