Ok so this is totally unrelated to consulting lol but I’m in need of some relationship advice. What does it mean when your boyfriend of 6 months asks for “space” after a heated argument?! We were both at fault, I’ve apologized numerous times, and the caring girlfriend in me wants to keep reaching out to make things right. Usually when us females say “leave me alone” we really don’t mean it lol so just want to hear from a man’s perspective. Also, Please be kind! :)

The last time I said that I was in college. We broke up about 2 weeks later officially and I went to marry the woman I’ve been with for over 12 years now. We have a house and a baby. He about to leave you.

Bruhhh. 🤣🤣

When I used to say that, it meant I was going to eventually taper off and breakup, or you are just smothering me so much I cant think straight and I need to be away from you to clear my head for a few days to realize whether I wanted to stay or go. Good luck sis

😭😭 thanks for sharing

The relationship is more trouble and drama than peace to him so he doesn’t want to deal with that in addition to life (assuming you’re in your 20’s tough phase to figure out etc ). If I said that personally I’m kinda done with the whole thing .

Yes he still tells me I love you etc lol. but thanks this was really helpful hearing things from a guy’s perspective!

Sometimes, it’s healthy to give him space. He may need to objectively think about the whole thing. The dilemma though is that if it goes on for too long, then it could spell the end of the relationship.

I would say, give him some space and see how things play out. If he loves you truly, he will realize that and come back. I asked for the same from my wife now of over a decade and obviously we got back together. It won’t be the last time you have arguments so if it can’t withstand the heat now, it won’t last in a marriage. Love is tough but it’s rewards can’t be constrained.

If he comes back, take it as a litmus test hit by all means consider that love is fragile and can be shattered and learn from the issue and move on learning to love each other more intelligently. It’s a lifelong journey.

Thank you for sharing this!

I honestly don’t think it’s from a man/woman perspective. six months is a long time. Personally, I will take that as a break-up but hold my peace.

If any men have misrepresented their gender in order to gain access, please flag the user and/or reach out to a bowl leader or Fishbowl support asap! Definitely want to make sure this space remains safe and private so we can continue to share freely 🙏
