    Yes, but people don't use it for that. It should be used as a time to fix one's mental attitude but people often use it to end the relationship.

    In my opinion most relation ships run aground due to lack of communications, I really don't see how distancing will help that.

    No, it's more like running away from the problem for a while, or just wanting to look around for other options.

    In most cases the girl will screw some random guy and the dude won’t and it will forever burn in his brain until he starts to hate her.

      @Subarugirl forgetting the downside and fixating on the fond memories is where that idea comes from. It also doesn't happen when you're killing it. Has nothing to do with distance and everything to do with your emotional state/filters that shift your focus based on that

      @Subarugirl more powerful (and realistic to what actually happens) is recognizing their value and fear of loss if you don't fix it. A girl if she knows she's with a guy that's a catch, who is great for her. Gives her good emotions.

      Sure maybe during a fight she might want space for a few hours but she's not gonna want to take a break knowing this guy can literally have a new girlfriend that weekend
