Dr Ofweneke explains 4 reasons why men change in relationships
Radio host Dr Ofweneke has shared his insights into why men sometimes change during relationships, outlining four key reasons that can affect romance and commitment.
According to Dr Ofweneke, the first reason is that some relationships start with lust rather than love.

“It wasn’t love, it was lust. I got what I wanted, now the honey has become ordinary. I realised my heart was not really there; it was just because of lust,” he explained.
In such cases, initial attraction fades once physical or emotional desires are satisfied.
The second reason she highlighted is that some men stay in relationships not out of genuine love, but because they do not want to see their partner with someone else. This behaviour, he noted, can lead to detachment over time as the relationship becomes more about control than affection.
Differing life goals and ambitions
Dr Ofweneke also pointed out that differing life goals and ambitions can drive a wedge between partners. “Maybe he realised your dreams and ambitions were not aligned with his,” he said.
Misalignment in priorities and visions for the future can create tension and ultimately prompt men to change their approach or exit the relationship.
The fourth reason, he explained, involves the comfort zone that couples often settle into over time. “Maybe you stopped doing the things you were doing at the beginning when you started dating. When you become too used to one another, it becomes ordinary,” Dr Ofweneke said.
He emphasised that the initial excitement in a relationship can fade if both partners stop making efforts to nurture it.
Dr Ofweneke also discussed commitment timelines, stating that men generally know when they are ready for a serious relationship. “A man knows he is ready for a serious relationship from the age of 28,” he said, suggesting that maturity and life experience play a significant role in readiness for long-term commitment.
His insights guide couples navigating relationship challenges, highlighting the importance of mutual effort, alignment of ambitions, and honest assessment of intentions.
As conversations about relationships continue to evolve, Ofweneke’s advice checks the need for open communication, emotional honesty, and self-awareness in maintaining healthy and lasting bonds.
