@erikagrundon: Replying to @bhiravi_makes because a the partner expressed from the moment they got home they needed space to the point where they canceled the date. The secure partner empathizing the date needing to be canceled and giving them that space is meeting their needs and saying let me know if you need anything allows the person to come to them when they are ready. This creates safety in the relationship. Trying to help more when the need is space will only go against their need for space in the moment but it is something that can be discussed after they decompress if the partner wants to open up. #securecommunication #relationshipneeds #attachmentstyles #attachmenttheory
