Will a Sagittarius Man Keep Coming Back? (And Why?)

Sagittarius men are notorious for having commitment issues. That causes many of them to end relationships, even if they are still in love with the person.

If a Sagittarius man is afraid to commit, he might leave only to realize he has made a mistake.

If the relationship ends and he honestly thinks it’s the right decision, he’ll just move on. If there’s any doubt in his mind, though, he’s likely to come back.

Many Sagittarius men stay friends with their exes. This can blur lines sometimes.

Moves On If He Wants To

Does a Sagittarius man always come back? That depends on the circumstances behind the breakup.

If a Sagittarius man has been hurt in love, he won’t want to deal with that again. If his ex cheated on him or did something else to betray him, he’ll do his best to move on.

If all you two did was fight, he’ll want to move on. If he is sure of his decision to end the relationship, it will be easy to get over it quickly.

It’s common for a Sagittarius man to pull away from you before the relationship ends. When he intends for a breakup to be permanent, he will detach from his soon-to-be ex.

That will make moving on from the relationship easier for him in the long run. If he’s already emotionally detached from you, he’ll be less likely to come back. When he no longer feels a connection, he’ll be fine moving on permanently.

He also won’t get back together with his ex just to have sex. Many Sagittarius men are fine with having casual flings or one-night stands.

Sagittarius men are highly independent. He likely didn’t feel reliant on you during your relationship and he won’t after you’ve broken up.

When he intends for the break to be temporary, he’ll usually communicate that. He might not always realize a temporary break is what he wants, though.

He may break up with you and then regret it once he has had some time to think. He might have just broken up with you because he was frustrated or feeling stifled, not because he wanted the relationship to end.
