What does "I need space" mean?

Have you ever found yourself in a relationship, having what you think is the time of your life, everything is all rosy,

all of a sudden your boyfriend says “I just need some space,” or “maybe we just need some space”?

What the hell does that mean?

I know some of you would start to freak out and think that this is the end of the relationship. This is it, you are breaking up, end of the road, how could he do this to you... and on and on with the negative thoughts.

But wait, not so fast…

What if that is all it means? Maybe you do need space away from each other because:

Think about it honestly for a minute...

You have been spending way too much time together and one (or both of you) is beginning to feel smothered and you need some time to breathe

The spark you had at the beginning is fizzling out and the attraction he had for you is waning

The relationship is going too fast and he wants to slow it down

You both need some alone time to collect your thoughts, handle personal business, reflect on yourself, the relationship, to regroup, etc…

It is possible to have too much of a good thing and too much of a good thing can ruin it.

Ever heard the term familiarity breeds contempt?

Well in the case of relationships, it breeds contempt, boredom, loss of attraction and a possible break-up...

The objective in any relationship is to keep the spark alive and preserve some of the mystery.

Without the spark, the chemistry, the attraction whatever you want to call it the relationship is doomed.

The only way you can do that is to spend some time away from each other to regroup and rekindle the spark.

How do you do that?

Whenever you hear “I need some space” from a man, well you heard him, give him his space!

But there is a way to do it so that he comes looking for you because you have yet again become so incredibly attractive to him all of a sudden.

You no longer make mistakes, you are now on point and have him exactly where you want him.

He said he wanted his space but suddenly he can't get enough of you! He's hooked...

And another one bites the dust! Hahaha!
