Yeah, he asked for space (at noon) 28 years ago, and I gave it to him (packed bags etc.,gone 2hrs later). (wanted to stay for 2 weeks until he could sort things out,....no get out now!) Isn't love just too grand....phooey

p1259: 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.

When he tells me he needs space and time to think about it, it's BS! It's over, he just doesn't have the balls to say it. Or, he is considering his options and I would never settle for second best. Plenty of fish in the sea. I do not play games, nor would I allow anyone to play them with me. Next! grin

Why does needing a little space to do some thinking always seem to be construed as something bad?confused

Sometimes I need space, but it's not because I do not Love or Care for that person, it's just I need some space to process some things in my head and I always have come back to the person willing to give me some space and said "Thanks". The respect from that person and acceptance that sometimes I just need some downtime is so very appreciated, and it gives me time to miss and adore the person all the more hug

If I don't want to be with someone, I am honest enough, and woman enough to politely tell him/her that. I won't "beat around the bush" about it.

I've never used this excuse/reason for a breakup of any kindconversing

I gave it to her,because I cared that much about her,that I was willing to give her what she wanted.

Sometimes love is caring enough about somebody,that you're ready to lose them.
