1. It’s just easier this way

2. Fear of conflict
One other reason why guys walk away is because they want to avoid awkward situations. They might be afraid of hurting the other person or that they may get angry and cause a scene. Or maybe they just make up all of this in their head as an excuse to disappear. Either way, they think it’s the nice peaceful way out.

3. He can’t deal with the breakup
This means he is not really at peace with breaking up with you. He might have cared for you deeply, but he knows that you can’t go on being together. So he splits because the heartache is too much to take. At the same time, he prefers to keep quiet about his emotions. When a guy does this, chances are there have been communicating problems to begin with.
But maybe the most important thing is for you to know that their sudden disappearance is not your fault. Please, share this!
