How long should you give space to someone in a bad mood?

Well it depends on multiple factors. Firstly, do they even want space? Secondly, if they don’t do they want comfort/to be listened to, or do they want solutions for their problem? If they do want space then anywhere from a couple of hours, to a few days. I wouldn’t say any more than two weeks, then you should reach out regardless if they want it or not.

I don't like confrontation so when I'm in a bad mood my spouse knows to leave me alone for an hour or two while I decompress.

Good question, thank you for asking it!
I'd say a couple of hours before checking up on them with some snacks or a hot drink, if you live with them. A day, if you don't live with them.

Until you can make them laugh,, or until you ask them,,, so how long did doctor say you're going to act this way

[OrdinaryDaniel]

It depends on how bad is it. And what relationship you are in. If you are dating and you got into a fight give it a week or so.

[sheikalana]

Until they're ready to talk to me again. I'll check on them after one day.

As long as they need. If they've specifically requested it, wait until they approach you. Otherwise you'll be disrespecting a boundary they clearly set with you. Great way to lose their trust

@LilliBilli hey can u follow me? i got a question about a separate reply lol.

Throughout the day, and see if he/she comes to you.

Just make sure that they don't actually want to talk already

[BeMuse]

Genuinely apologize as soon as possible and then let them come talk to you when they are ready.

[Texasguy99]

However long they need. Everyone is different and need different things.

[JamieLoves]

Whatever space they need! They’ll come back when they’re ready.
When chicks don’t leave me alone, they make it even worse! I’ve dumped a few for that.

Usually when they stop throwing things at your head it is safe to approach.

[RelevantJ]

Until they calm they asses down.
They'll let ya know when they ready

[Little_Bumblebee]

Generally, until they came back to me
