My mom (who’s been married for 30 years) is advising me to give my boyfriend space. Is she right?

I feel my relationship/communication is not going well with my boyfriend. Like it’s not evolving as I hoped it would be. It feels like he is becoming more and more distant and I’m just the back burner in his life.

I have confronted with my mom looking for relationship advice. That she told me: “Honey, all men are like this. He is out there living his life and you need to give him his space. Men say they want ‘love and attention’. But once a girl gives it to him. He doesn’t want it anymore. You need to focus on you and glow and don’t worry about him. He’ll come around whenever he feels like it, and I know it hurts. Believe me, I know.”

Yes she’s right

Not exactly…it depends

Quality over quantity. Giving spa e is just gonna backfire. The guy will find what he wants elsewhere. If your communication is lacking just have a talk with him about how he's feeling. Assuming your able to get him to talk about it. Ignoring it isn't going to help which is really how It will be portrayed to him. If he wants space then hear. It from his own mouth
