He Needs Space- Is He Leaving?He starts by saying that awful phrase, “We've got to talk.” Then he mentions that he needs his 'space' for awhile, that it's 'not you, it's him.' After his cliche-heavy speech, he leaves. Leaving you, confused and asking what, exactly, his version of space is. Does it mean he wants a mini-break, a separation, or to break-up and simply go his own way? How can you read between the lines of your man's need for this mysterious, vague space? There are two possibilities: he genuinely needs his space. Or he's too cowardly to tell you that yes, in fact he IS leaving you. How do you know and what should you do? He Just Needs Space: Some people really do need their space. If he's introverted, or used to being on his own, this is his way of adapting to it. It doesn't mean he doesn't want to come back or that it'll be for a long time. He could just need time for himself, without anyone, to breathe for a moment. -
The length of the relationship comes into play, also. He could be feeling over-whelmed and maybe even suffocated if you've been spending every waking moment together. Or if you've been having problems, he might just want to clear his head and get some perspective from a distance. It doesn't have to be a bad thing, he could just be adjusting or problem-solving.
He Wants To Finish, And Go His Own Way: Men absolutely detest conflict with women, they can be cowards when it comes to speaking up if they think the reaction might be in the least emotional- or even hysterical. He could be interested in someone else, especially if you've been having heavy hiccups in your relationship.
What Should You Do? It's more like what you shouldn't, under any circumstances, do: panic, get hysterical and relentlessly try to contact him. Becoming a pseudo-stalker isn't going to convince him he was wrong in needing his space. He'll need it more. You'll push him away, and inflate his ego that you're pathetically desperate without him. -
Don't argue with him or try to persuade him to stay. Tell him he's right. That it's a good idea for you both. Take the time apart to think about whether or not you want to be with him, or if it's just an ego-bruise that he's leaving you. Don't take his phone calls or emails. He needs his space? Take yours too, and make good use of the spare time to beautify and enjoy the things you've done less, in order to be with him. Nonetheless, if you can’t think of separation in any of the circumstances, you can best resort to “The Magic of Making Up”, a miraculous guide for couples in trouble that assures back the good times. -
He may come back, he may not. Maybe he just got confused himself and taking space he's decided you're the one. Maybe he panicked and got cold feet. Maybe he's with someone new. But needing his space can backfire. Maybe you've decided you need to go your own way, giving him permanent man-space.

My boyfriend has gone to Taiwan for 6 months and then that's when our relationship got it's bruises. He got a lot of female attention, he denied but it was true. I was jealous, and I was nagging about it (my mistake). Then he changed in a bad way for our relationship. He tried to break up after I visited him there when he was 3 months there. It wasn't a warm welcome at all, we had fights especially when I found out he cheated on me emotionally (I say emotionally because I don't have proof he cheated on me with this girl physically). He keep saying he had no other feelings for another girl what so ever and that the problem was our relationship. I worked on my jealous behaviour and I think I've become stronger especially when he tried to break up with a month before he came back. I begged him to wait until he was back. I lost a lot of weight because I felt heart broken. I was nervous and insecure I didn't know what to do or feel because we didn't have that much contact anymore. When we called everything seemed normal and he said he missed me.In the mean time I found out he spent a weekend alone in big city in a hotel with this girl (he doesn't know i know this, but I also don't know if they shared one bed). When he came back he was really confused because I saw his affection for me still in his eyes, but still he wanted to break up because he didn't want to fight for our relationship anymore. And when i said, he was right by leaving me because I deserve a man after all who loves me, respects me and stays with me the rest of my life loving me. He was silent for a while and then took it back. He said he needed space and time to think, he wants 2 weeks to see if there is still a chance for us. We are still in that period but he kisses me and sleeps over (my mistake because i'm not sure if he is taking advantage of that). But he also said I should give him space, so whenever he is not with me I shouldn't contact him or when I do he could be saying he doesn't want to see me right now but he actually meant I don't have to contact him, because he will if he wants to see me anyway. This is kind of a dilemma, but now I also have to time to think if I really want to be with him even though i want to be with him right now.
But I was wondering, how long can your bf get away with it by not contacting you? 1-2 days or 4-5 days? I personally think it's quite long if he doesn't contact you in 3 days. What do you think? I definitely think I should leave him if he thinks he can get away with not leaving me message in 6 days. Because I just had to miss him for 6 months!He got a lot of space there anyway, now he's back he wants more space??
please help
He cried when i was leaving & gave me cuddles & kisses & he also asked me to promise i wouldnt get with anyone else in this time & he did the same.
Im absolutly heart broken, i love him so much, was living with him. Now ive moved out, i dont know if il hear from him as when i asked him this he said 'just leave it with me'.
I pleaded & begged him to give me a chance but he just said he needs time to himself right now.
Im trying to work out if i should try again or just leave him to have his space like he's asked?
I know he'l be expecting me to text, do you think if i leave it, it may make him want to speak to me as iv not been in contact?
I really am stuck, i want him back so bad but dont know they right way to go about it!
