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.

Independent

Sagittarius men don’t need to be in relationships. They are perfectly content being single.

A Sagittarius man won’t go back to his ex just because he feels lonely. He’ll reach out to friends and family if he just wants to socialize with somebody. He’ll find somebody else to go on trips with him.

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.

This independence means that if he gets back together with you, it’s because he wants to be with you. A Sagittarius man won’t go back to his ex just for the sake of being in a relationship.

A Sagittarius man’s independence also helps him stick to his guns when he believes the breakup was for the best. Even if he misses you, he doesn’t need you.

Likes Breaks

The best thing to do when a Sagittarius man breaks up with you is to give him space. If he does come back, it needs to be on his terms.

Sagittarius men need breaks sometimes. They need time to themselves. They don’t like to be around their partners constantly.

Sometimes when a Sagittarius man is mad at you, he’ll want a break from the relationship. He doesn’t intend for this to be a permanent breakup. He needs time to be alone and clear his head.

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.

You shouldn’t sit around waiting for your Sagittarius ex to decide he’s ready to commit, though. Even if he does end up being ready to commit, he might not want to be with you.

Some Sagittarius men get caught in on-again, off-again relationships because of their fear of commitment. It might take him a few tries to be ready to commit long-term.

Stays In Contact

Sometimes a relationship will end on good terms. A Sagittarius man will often stay friends with his ex in that case.

When a Sagittarius man wants to be friends after a breakup, that doesn’t always mean he will want to rekindle the relationship. He is just more likely to than if the relationship ended badly.
