Well it is depends cause sometimes you need time for yourself to settle down with your emotions. You don’t want to make wrong or bad decisions and regret after cooling down.

From a therapist perceptive this is definitely anxious attachment, people are allowed to draw space to prevent conflict or further negative interactions, lack of presence doesn’t always equal malicious behavior

As someone that struggles with emotional overwhelm, I would say this is completely wrong, needed space to collect your thoughts is not abuse. You can’t put yourself to the side and solely put someone else’s needs before your own, even in a relationship. You have to find a middle ground for sure

IF YOUR PARTNER CANT TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR ANY OF THEIR NEGATIVE ACTIONS OR ANYTHING AT ALL, WHAT THEN? Highlighting the importance of both sides, not yelling in this comment

Disappearing on your partner? This is an Anxious attachment take. There is nothing wrong with communicating a need for some space and time to reflect and calm down.

Guys she said disappearing, there’s a difference between disappearing and communicating that you need space

My need for space after conflict can’t be the cost of soothing your wounds

I only respectfully asked not to getting defensive and not to be shouted at and excited that we can talk through conflict peacefully… This what I received and responded finally “Okay, take care”…

clarity is not produced under pressure. sometimes people need time to decompress before they can assess a conflict properly and respond constructively.

It’s complicated. Some people need space after a fight. As a couple, figuring out how that works for both of you is something you could ask a therapist.

The difference is the comment of saying “hey I need some space, give me x amount of time and then let’s come back together to talk” contrary just going distance out of no where without reassurance

I’ll walk off so I can cool down then I’ll come back and apologize and try to talk about stuff nicely.

I think space is okay. It’s all about communicating that you need that time. You’re allowed to need time to process your own feelings as well.

taking 30 minutes and then regrouping is actually an extremely healthy tactic to be able to use during an argument. the circling back is the healthy part, you MUST do this once you are calm. your frontal lobe shuts off during arguments preventing you from creating a logical thought process.

My husband will tell me to leave him alone, to go the fuck away, that he doesn’t wanna deal with me rn. So when I give him space, it’s as if nothing happened but we never talk about our issues afterward.. and rarely does he do silent treatment but he still does it.. help.
