Guys - How long should I give him space?

[Anonymous]

My boyfriend and I always break up, but this time it's different. He told me he lost feelings for me. We got in a huge fight, and I always hear that you should ignore the guy for a week or so to see if he calls or texts you first for news. How long should I wait? I want to talk to him so bad, but I don't know what's on his mind. Should I try to call, or make it wait a little longer? Maybe he needs space. A lot of space.

.. Why we get in fights? We were supposed to hang out at 7 o'clock and at 9:30 I called him, asked him why he wasn't here and he didn't answer any of my calls. So I sent him the meanest text of my life, and it launched our fight. But he started it.

See if he is not there at an agreed time, and does not answer calls, (assuming that you guys don't spend all the time together and this was only a couple of hours personal time for him) that is very immature on his part and disrespectful towards you.

Trust and respect are two most important things in a relationship. Naturally, you were upset and sent him mean text messages because that is the only way you could get a response from him.

If he wants to do something on his own, he should tell you in advance and make up for it later. Tell him that you don't mind if he wants to do something on his own without you. However, he should tell you before hand rather than flake out like this last minute and leave you hanging like this. Let him know this. Let him decide if he wants to behave properly or not.

You need for him to behave more mature. Till that time, have your own plans. Learn to be happy on your own with your other friends and other things. In the mean time if you meet some interesting man don't hold back.

whatever you feel is right.

i hate to answer it like that and not give you a definite answer but

whatever you feel is right is the best answer because no one on this site

knows him as well as you do. you can tell when he wants to be serious and joking around and when he doesn't want to fight or w.e.

u know him ALOT better then any of us

but in the mean time

have a girls night out or something to get him off ur mind

space is good. you don't want to make it seem like you need him. boys are boys and they will hit you up when they want to. don't wait around for him tho girl. have fun in the mean time. not too much tho. but have a girls night out. keep him off your mind for a quick second. staying home being bored and doin nothing is what's gonna keep him on your mind. we both kno he's not home being bored doin nothing.

hope this helps.

How Long Should I Give Him Space?

It's a question that many women ask themselves after a fight with their significant other.

The answer, of course, depends on the situation:

• If you and your man have had a minor disagreement, then a few hours apart may be all that's needed.
• However, if you've had a major blowout, it may be best to give each other a day or two to cool down.

In general, it's a good idea to give your man some space when he's feeling overwhelmed or stressed. This will give him time to sort out his thoughts and emotions. It's also important to remember that men and women communicate differently. Women tend to want to talk things out after a fight, while men often need some time to themselves to process what happened.

So, if you're wondering how long to give your man space after a fight, the answer is, it depends. But in general, a little bit of space can go a long way in helping you both cool down and resolve your differences.

How to Properly Give Him Space?

Giving him space doesn’t mean ghosting him or acting like you don’t care. It means giving him the time and space to miss you. And to miss you with a burning passion. It means making him realize how much he needs you in his life.

• The first step is to have patience. I know it’s hard when you want something so badly but you have to trust that the universe knows what it’s doing. Everything happens for a reason and if you give him space, he will come back to you.
• Second, don’t try to contact him. I know you want to but resist the urge. If you text him, call him, or show up at his door, you’re only going to push him away further. The key is to let him come to you.
• And finally, don’t be needy. This is probably the most important step. If you act like you don’t need him, he’ll be drawn to you like a moth to a flame.

But if you act desperate and clingy, he’ll run for the hills. So be patient, resist the urge to contact him, and don’t be needy. If you follow these steps, he’ll be back in no time.

Does Giving Space Mean No Contact?

The question of whether giving someone space means no contact is a tricky one.

• On the one hand, it seems like common sense that if you're giving someone space, you wouldn't be in contact with them.
• On the other hand, if you're giving someone space in order to work on a relationship, it might actually require some contact in order to make progress.

So what's the answer?

In general, giving someone space does mean no contact. If you're giving someone space, it's because you need some time apart from them. This could be for any number of reasons, but the bottom line is that you need some time to yourself. And that means no contact.

However, there are exceptions to this rule. If you're giving someone space in order to work on a relationship, then contact might actually be necessary. For example, you might need to talk about what's not working in the relationship and what you both can do to fix it. Or you might need to check in with each other to see how you're both doing.

So the answer to the question of whether giving someone space means no contact is that it depends. In general, it does mean no contact. But there are exceptions to every rule.

Can Space Save a Relationship?

When it comes to relationships, it’s often said that communication is key.

But what happens when you and your partner just can’t seem to get on the same page?

• It can be frustrating, to say the least. You may start to feel like you’re talking to a wall, and all your attempts at compromise seem to fall on deaf ears. If this sounds familiar, you may want to consider giving your relationship some space.
• It may seem counterintuitive, but giving your relationship some space can actually help to improve communication and resolve conflict. When you’re constantly in each other’s space, it can be easy to start taking each other for granted. You may start to feel like your partner is always there, whether you want them to be or not. This can lead to resentment and can make it difficult to have a healthy, productive conversation. Giving each other space can help to prevent these negative feelings from taking root.
• It can also give you both time to miss each other and appreciate each other’s company. When you’re not constantly in each other’s space, it can be easier to have a more objective view of your relationship. This can help you to communicate more effectively about your needs and wants.

Of course, space is not a cure-all for all relationship problems. But if you’re feeling suffocated or like you’re not being heard, it may be worth a try. Talk to your partner about your concerns and see if they’re open to the idea of giving each other some space. It may just be the breath of fresh air your relationship needs.

First off whoever told you to wait a week to text or call a guy was a retard, we have feelings to you know and we generally don't appreciate when a girl expects us to come groveling back. If You want to talk to him then do it and ignore the retarded myths about guys that exist.

[Asker]

Yeah, but if I do and he doesn't reply back, does that mean he doesn't want to talk to me at all? He said he wanted to be friends, but then we got in a big fight and I haven't talked to him since. I don't know what to do to talk to him and not sound pushy

[IronSatan]

Well talk to him and tell him how you feel and how you don't want to be pushy but still want him as either a friend or more depending on what you want

[Rikastin]

In this particular case, just leave him. If the quarrels are so bad that you two keep breaking up, it is not going to last. Especially if the other has lost his feelings.

Exeption: when you have a very very deep common interest like art, music, religiosity, pop culture genre... Then I'd say give it one last try in a few days. A guy needs his space but a week is too much.

[sumina7]

Why do you get into fights? Without knowing that it is difficult to answer your question.

[VikingWarLord]

Just leave him already, wtf are you doing?

Constantly in and out, it's not gonna last, why prolong the agony?
