I love you...But i need space...What does that mean??

In a relationship there are peak points when you feel that as if your tied up and need some space to think things over. We called it here "cool-off".Actually your not breaking the person but there are just doubts perhaps in a relationship or in your life, that you came to the point to ask space to clear things.It doesn't mean you don't love the person at all but rather you just want to make sure things right, no regrets in the end.I almost do that to my boyfriend who was my husband now but i never pursue because i feel pity on him because he never did something wrong to me. I just tied up with the 12 years of relationship so, as a recourse i went on a date with other guy trying to figure out my true feeling to him. I want to make sure things, wanna know to myself what would be like to have new relationship but nothing happen, just having date with anybody but never been into another relationship. I can't afford to have another one.So, though the one i dated is a sort of my dream guy but it end up us friends. Now i was happy with my marriage as we are blessed with a son, a 1 year old and 8 months old son.

yes...i feel the same way too..actually im the one who feels the feeling...it hard to say "give me a space" to someone you love but sometimes we have to sacrifice in order for us to make the relationship better..and to also to find out to ourself if we really or still love the person.huhuhu

To me if i was told that i would think that well he is trying to tell me it`s all over .That he isn`t ready to make a more permant arrangement .But i think if you really care for this man /woman then you need to both sit down and talk just to put things straight and find out just where you actualy stand.

It means the person feels like they are losing their sense of individuality and that they need some room to breathe. If you back off a little bit and go hang out with your friends for a while and don't call 10 times a day it should be better.

I think if i were to hear that words from my boyfriend, i will just ask why do you need some space? did i do something wrong? then it depends on his answer on what will i do in our relationship.

For me, of course I will give him or her a space that she or he needed. I don't have choice but to let her or him go. It's her or his decision. If she or he loves me, then I will still be here for her or him.

In my book it pretty much means the person loves you but they a need a little bit of elbow room.They need a little more time alone.NOt giving that person space they may start to get tired of you.If someone told me that i will feel hurt a little bit but i will definitely give them their space.I would find time to do something else different and occupy my time.

It means simply that, he needs time to himself. Even though you thought things were going well, maybe something is happening in his life right now and all he knows is to ask for space. Maybe he is unsure of himself and needs to be on his own to think things through?!? I have asked this earlier on before my husband and I got married, I needed to think things through as our relationship was getting serious pretty fast. After ending a 7 year relationship prior to meeting up with him, I wanted to make sure he was the one that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. I needed some time alone without him in my face all the time, so I asked for space. He gave it, it helped and eventually we got engaged, and then a year after married and had a beautiful son.

well, actually I did that to my ex boyfriend long time ago. I just feel that the relationship not going anywhere. It means more "break up" because ....it could be not feeling comfortable anymore, love has gone actually. That I love you follow but i need space just to ease up sometimes.
