How to Avoid Making a Leo Man Break Up with You

Although Leos are known for being the most dominant zodiac sign, they are not complicated creatures. It’s this that could place you one step ahead in the love stakes.

Always remember that a Leo man is a restless, demanding, all-action hero kind of guy. He comes alive with an audience and loves to be front and center, leading the way.

As a fire sign that is ruled by the Sun, it’s no wonder Leo men are passionate, but this can burn out. To stay relevant, you must find ways to avoid him breaking up with you.

Attention

A smart strategy to hold a Leo man’s attention is by giving him plenty of yours. Make this subtle and powerful for the best effect. Do not bother following him around like a lost puppy, holding onto his every word.

Like lions, Leos need some kind of chase to spark initial interest, followed by a suitable level of mystery as the relationship progresses.

The trick is to give him attention in meaningful ways, involving, say, wit or knowledge.

Of course, with Leo’s ego-driven showing off, there’s a fine line between making him look good and stepping into his spotlight. Once you reach a point where your Leo man feels humiliated or overshadowed, the writing is on the wall.

Avoid being dumped by watching for signs of a Leo man’s silent anger. Although they love the spotlight, Leos don’t do dramatics when their personal feelings are involved.

If you notice his texts are less frequent, and his attention is waning, that’s the time to take positive action.

Kindness

If there’s one thing Leo men dislike, it is people being cruel to others. Kindness costs nothing, and it means everything to the lions of the zodiac. If you want to make a relationship with a Leo blossom, you need to be thoughtful.

As you’d expect, a partner being openly unkind, insensitive, or hateful will immediately kill your relationship. Heck, if you imagined a Leo man was cold after a breakup, he’ll be a block of ice in this situation.

Leos have huge hearts and a strong sense of justice, so they care how others are treated. A Leo man respects caring gestures and kind actions, especially when they come naturally. However, be unkind, and he’ll be gone.

Faithfulness

Leo men who are happy and content in a relationship are generally incredibly faithful. While Leos like being admired, perhaps even desired, by all, that’s not a sign that they are likely to cheat.

The flipside of this approach to life is that Leos are equally intolerant of unfaithful partners. You aren’t likely to make a Leo man regret losing you if he finds out you’re cheating, because sharing isn’t something he would ever settle for.

Few Leo men would come back after a breakup over infidelity, so think carefully about how this fits into your long-term plans and dreams. Even some light, meaningless flirting could be misinterpreted.

Apologize

They say sorry is the hardest word, but let’s hope not. If you’re determined to avoid a scenario where your dream Leo breaks up with you, be prepared to get humble. This is easier if you are familiar with how a Leo man thinks.

If you realize you did or said something that deserves an apology, give it. Don’t hesitate or sulk to avoid admitting you were out of line. That’s the easiest way to prevent this from becoming a significant issue.

On the other hand, if you don’t feel an apology from you is required, your Leo man might take that quite badly. That’s the moment it makes sense to talk to your guy and find out what he’s thinking.

There’s no need to walk on eggshells around your Leo partner. If you are in the wrong, he’ll prefer a short, direct apology that will let you both move on. Just don’t drag it out.

When he’s taking something very seriously, and you just don’t get it, you’d best hold on tight. You are very likely to find out how a Leo man acts after a breakup!

Honesty

Leo men are really into the idea of honesty. They dislike game playing and passive aggression, so bypass hinting and go straight for the truth. If you want to avoid breaking up with a Leo guy, abandon any plans to be dishonest.

Just be careful how you put being honest into practice, as Leos can be a bit sensitive when faced with the truth. On the other hand, he’ll appreciate you being honest in more general situations because his goal is to make you happy.

For example, when a Leo man is done with you, he’ll let you know. He’ll be polite, of course, but openly state the reasons for his decision. This is how a Leo guy operates. He’s blunt but despises the whole dropping hints routine.

Leos are logical, men of action over words. When words themselves are taken as accurate, they must always be 100% reliable. If he suggests dessert and you turn it down to appear health-conscious, a Leo date will not push it. So beware.

Loyalty

A quality Leo men consider essential in all of their relationships is loyalty. It takes a good amount of time and trust for a Leo to let someone into their inner circle.

Any betrayal of that position will be met with hostility and resentment.

Remember, just like the lion that represents them, Leo men have lots of pride; too much sometimes, perhaps. They are caring and protective and expect your loyalty to be a given. Few Leo men could easily forgive being betrayed in any way.

Take care to avoid doing anything that may be seen as disloyal by your Leo lover. He may see betrayal in behavior you consider harmless.

Loyalty isn’t always about major things like being faithful. It could also involve mentioning him in casual gossip – even if the story is nothing special, or not openly supporting him in a debate.

Tolerance

Leos can be quite hard work sometimes. They burn with all the passion of a sun-influenced fire sign; they’re determined, focused, and often quite demanding.

If you want to enjoy a long-term relationship with a Leo man, you will have to be quite tolerant. Those with personalities you could describe as relaxed, laid back, easy-going, or patient will find this less of a challenge.

However much he drives you mad, stay away from the mind-games, they don’t fix things. Going out looking for ways to make a Leo man feel guilty for hurting you sometimes is pretty pointless.

Leos are simply not a great match for someone who is over-sensitive or high maintenance. However, with understanding and tolerance, you can enjoy a loving, long-lasting liaison.

Flattery

We already mentioned that Leo men need to be noticed. Still, they want a different kind of attention from a wife, girlfriend, or partner. We can call it flattery.

Now, the standard dictionary definition of flattery tells you it’s a form of lying. That it involves saying lots of nice things about someone so you can benefit somehow, this is not the way to keep a Leo happy.

Leo men may have oversized egos, but they are not stupid. Fakeness is not attractive, but the kinder version of flattery is. So make sure you praise your Leo guy’s actions, his personality traits, and his achievements.

Yes, this means mentioning or making a fuss over things on a bigger scale than may feel natural. After all, it’s flattery that reassures that little insecure part inside a Leo that you are still into him.

Romance

What is romance – the moonlit walk along a beach with white sand, the surprise bouquet of favorite flowers, or perhaps the love note waiting to be found when a hand reaches into a pocket?

Whatever your answer, who wants to live without this glorious experience? Not Leo, for sure. Although with their love of grand, over-the-top gestures, they often take romance to the next level.

One of the early signs a Leo man has lost interest in you is when the romance dies off; as Leos love to be romantic. If your relationship is going to last, you should pay attention to this need and enjoy all the nice things romance brings.

Supportive

Leo men may come across as bold, confident, and high achieving, all qualities they have. However, there’s a quieter, private, more sensitive side to these lions too.

This vulnerability can trigger depression, anxiety, self-doubt, and sometimes even confrontation.

No wonder the most robust romantic relationships with Leos involve a supportive partner. They’re not looking to be rescued, just to be understood.

Only those people a Leo man gets very close to will ever glimpse his private side. Perhaps that’s because generally friendly and outgoing Leos are very good at dazzling the crowds.

Everyone feels close, but what they see is a small slice of the natural person.

Building a deep and solid connection takes time and understanding. Ask yourself, how long does it take a Leo man to get over a breakup? The answer is much longer than you may expect.

It takes time to build genuine trust, and being supportive and accepting of him is the way to go.

Leos need to know you’ll always have their back, that you’ll defend them as necessary, and advise them gently rather than through harsh criticism.
