Hi there people. I was just wondering how can I tell my girlfriend that I need some space? I mean, nothing really going on between us, everything is good it's just that sometimes I feel like I am being suffocated because she's with me all the time. I can't even go out with my friends as much because she always wants the both of us together all the time. I try to give her hints and tell her to spend time with her friends since she hasn't hanged out with them for a while but all she says is "ok"
I don't want to hurt her feelings because she's a very sensitive and moody girl and I know that if I tell her straight out, all hell will break loose and I'm not the sort of person that likes to argue. Is there any way of doing this? What do you guys think?

i think you should ask yourself first if you still love her or not. if you need some space, she'll definitely ask you the reason why. and of course you'll tell her those things, that sometimes you feel suffocated because she's with you all the time, so she's probably going to say to work things out. she will convince you that she'll try to avoid things that can be a hindrance to your relationship. so i suggest you ask yourself first, if you don't love her anymore, i think it would hurt her more if you show her than telling her straight. I don't think she'll understand it immediately, but you should tell her in a way that you can defend yourself. maybe you just fall out of love, and there's no explanation. but i think you still love her, so the best way for you to do is to talk to her. if she can't understand you, then there's a problem with her. she should understand that guys also needs time with their friends and girls as well.
she's sensitive and moody right? once you tell her how you really feel, i think she'll understand, if she sees the sincerity in you.
