What do you do and how do you act when your boyfriend says he needs time and space?

Answer 1

just give him the space he needs .. much better if you will gave him the Universe. ='p

In my opinion and experience, he wants to be with other people without you around. Whether its just to experience life alone b/c he was previously involved in another relationship and didn't get that chance, or b/c they want to experience life without you to see which is more important or enjoyable to him. Maybe, he already has found someone else and this will give him the chance to see if it can go somewhere better with them, than with you. Sometimes, they just want to be with the guys, but usually if those guys are cheaters, he will follow their lead. Some want the best of both worlds and just don't want to be lying to you about what they are doing, so taking a break gives him the chance to be free without hurting you. Guilt-free freedom. The best of both worlds. Just my opinion. That previous answer was great and full of possibilities. This is just one man's point of view, "kick him to the curb." He's more than likely looking for a way out without seeming like a "Bad Guy". It's hard sometimes to just say it's over, sooooo....Hey here's an answer: "I NEED MY SPACE". So give his space, preferrably outer space.Les Give it to him! I went through this. Give him his space! And be matter a fact about it. No questions ask. Don't act needy or sad or pouty. And make sure he knows that you are fine and doing fine without him! Keep yourself busy too. Change the way you look as well. If you wanted to go straight or curly or you've always wanted to get streaks (flattering of course) then get them. Look good for you and keep an active social life. I did all of this and he came back and even went as far as finally bringing me home to meet his family to show me how much he was ready to commit. We were dating for a few years and he never brought me home. He just needed a swift kick in the pants, a reality check that he could actually loose me to someone else. I looked good, I made him believe that I was feeling great even though I missed him. And it tore him up. Now the risk with this is that he is in fact seeing someone else (which I believe my guy wanted to do but didn't want to cheat on me so he "needed his space.") This could drive him to her but chances are if he really loves you, like my guy loves me, he will have second thoughts and not want to lose you.

Answer 2

It means he wants to break up. Sometimes a little space helps a relationship, but in all of my experience, it was an excuse. So how to react: let him have his space and prepare to move on. You might really love him and this may be hard, but life is never easy and you will find someone 10 times better.

Answer 3

Hi,my answer to your question is...Give him his space.

How can you know if he truly wants you or loves you unless you "let him go"?

You want him to CHOOSE to want you/to be with you, so the only way to know if hes choosing to be in relationship with you is to "put it to the test" if he returns hes choosing to be with you, not because your making him, but because that's what he wants, and then you know its real and it takes the burden off your shoulders of knowing. A person needs space to think, if you love someone, let them go, if he comes back, hes yours, if not he wasn't meant to be. It can hurt to finish with someone, but youl get over it and move on, but theres nothing worse then carrying around the burden of trying to keep a man when he dosent really want to be with you, pleasing him, doing what you can to keep him etc...id rather be wanted and feel secure knowing hes chosen me than to spend months,even years waisting my time on someone im not sure even feels the same in return. People are too afraid to give someone the freedom they want incase it dosent end up or turn out the way they hope (like him returning) but its the only true way to know for sure where you both stand and want.Lifes too short to wast time and energy...and by doing this youl gain more strength and confedance in yourself. There are plenty of good men out there, remember to think you are worth it! and make sure your with a guy who thinks your worth it! why settle for second best??? - GOod lUck!

Answer 4

• The new fade is 'I need space' which simply means it is a chicken way out to say 'I do not know if I love you; I may want to date other people, but not sure.' He may feel the relationship is getting too serious and is not ready for commitment. Give him his space! Then you get out with your friends and start dating again. Often when an ex boyfriend sees that his ex girlfriend is not going to sit and mope around after him he may well come back to you. If not there is a special young man out there for you. Most women go through many lost loves before they find that special person.

Answer 5

You simply give him the space he wants. Don't complain or hesitate about his decision. By allowing him space shows you are considerate and wish the best for him.

Answer 6

Give him space.
