happy days and long live love,just curious to see if anyone did what i did and how they handled it when they realiased it was really over.i find that ninety nine percent of the time they really want to break up with you but would rather the other person called it off as time goes by.soon as i heard those words i prepared myself for a new start three weeks later with someone else.wave

Nobody has ever said that to me, but I have!

It wasn´t because I wanted to move on either, I just needed to spend time with friends which my jealous partner at the time didn´t understand, or couldn´t accept.

I did end the relationship eventually because he wasn´t prepared to let me go a little, so asking for space isn´t always a signal that someone wants to split up with their partner and should be listened to.

I agree that I believe this is dating language for go away and don't come back.

GIVE ME SOME SPACE- was the IQ of seventh graders, that was the code for kids to END a relationship, adults have adopted it to mean the same thing... sad flower

Ditto....I agree. Loving partners in a relationship don't need space. If so, they need to stay together and work out the issues. If not, move on and get out.

Many times I get a great deal of wisdom from your thoughts and ideas, but have been concerned a little about something. It seems that you challenge almost everything I say, and I'd like to know if there is another way for me to share my thoughts and opinions that would be more acceptable to you? I am willing to say it may be a method of communicating on my part. However, I feel I have much to say and also like to be validated. rose

Right on, John. When two people are in a loving relationship, and in fine tune with one another (this should come naturally) then allowing each other some solitude shouldn't even be a topic. (They'll know when, where, why, etc.. without it being a major production).handshake

I think that´s simply your imagination. I don´t go out of my way to disagree with you at all. I generally like reading your posts.

I challenge many people here, that´s my way, partly because I disagree, but often because people here don´t always see the bigger picture in my opinion.

Exactly, everybody needs time and space to themselves. once the honeymoon phase is over you don't need to be together every second.

just gave them their space all the time. I haver had anyone say that to me. The break ups I have had were for other reasons - more well defined, I guess is a way to put it.

But I would always recommend giving all the people in your life as much space - figuratively speaking - as they need - but that's just medancing

Yes, that´s true. Everybody needs space, we are all individuals with different needs, regardless of whether we are in a relationship or not.
