@burned_notbroken: space for a few weeks or months is worth it if the alternative is losing them for good. #relationshipburnout #burnedoutpursuer #separation #divorcetok #relationshiprepair
but it isn’t fair i don’t WANT SPACE, why should I have to settle for “space”if I havent done anything wrong to warrant that and I want nothing more than to talk

i also just think sometimes there’s nothing you can do to get them back if they’ve made up their minds, sometimes space just makes them drift further until they’re comfortable with your absence

A grown ass adult wouldn’t ask for space a grown adult in a relationship would want to fix the issue and talk about it. relationships aren’t perfect it never is. relationships should never be easy. Let’s normalize not asking for space and just fix the issue together instead of running away

I asked for space to deal with personal stuff. he wanted to fix. he couldnt. a year later, he couldnt do it anymore. 😭 Claims he is anxious attachment and I'm avoidant. No contact doesn't feel like he's anxious

Think of the space as the person being in a cocoon. If you pierce the cocoon, the caterpillar dies. Give time for the butterfly emerge and the relationship has a chance to soar.

heavily agree on one week isnt enough. although ive been learning a lot within just a few days, i still find myself wanting or trying to go back to how i was acting before with him, and i have to remind myself that it isn't worth pushing him away more and stunting my own growth. the small chance of a short response isn't worth breaking no contact and going back to square one.

I’m new to this, I was dealing with my own set of issues witch now that I’ve had time to reflect I realized I was pushing her away and not showing her attention she needed and I am guilty of as soon as she left the switch got flipped, I took for granted what I had. I’m trying my hardest to get her back but she says the same things “I need space” how do you recommend giving space when you live together. Thank you

Great advice but we always learn this AFTER we’ve done everything we ‘ shouldn’t ’ do 😭

Should I let her break no contact first? I was wrong in the relationship an did bad and she didn’t like it so she ended it. She told me not right now and she needs away for now. So should I let her come to me when she’s ready to give me a chance as oppose to me reaching out later in time ?

what if they asked for space but instead used intermittent reinforcement tactics on you and kept in touch with you once a day & kept appearing and disappearing on their terms?

Im giving him space and just talking about our son and I think is working. He was mad at me and now made a joke to me over the FaceTime call with our son. I miss him so much but im giving him so much space and learning on what I did wrong.

There is a subtle difference between asking for space and stonewalling. One can be healing the other is destructive.
