I need to go to therapy for better coping in a new relationship. He doesn’t need to know anything, since he is busy and not “at fault”. I also need to distant myself a little over the next few days so I don’t accidentally get mad at him. Would you be honest or just say you need some space?

Let me just say that I love how you are working on yourself and doing your best to make your new relationship work.
Any chance of sharing your struggles with him (high level) so that he does not misconstrue some actions/reactions when they happen? I ask this because you could get space for some days but since therapy is a continuous journey even after you aren't seeing a therapist anymore, triggers will still happen and you will still react. That transparency could help islf that happens. Understanding where one's partner is coming from matters a lot.

Wishing you all the best!

No. Say you have a personal matter you need to sort out in case you come off as distant.

Saying you need space is generally equated to breaking up/ avoiding. It’s vague and creates tension.

Thanks

Need advice. Very Shy guy and girl, met a while back for a side hustle both like each other a LOT, relationship has progressed in other areas but not in the physical realm, primarily because neither officially asked the other out. Guy is a very rough around edges, asked for a date by saying ‘anytime you need breakfast or lunch, let me know’. I am an independent gal and didn’t like the way it came across. I really want to take this forward but am out of ideas on how to make a date happen.
