As humans, there are certain words you don’t want to hear your partner say. It literally sends a chill down your spine, words like “I need some space”, “ I need some time off” “ I need to be alone”, “Leave me for now” etc.
Don’t be frightened when you hear such words from your partner, instead, you listen with an open mind.
Space sometimes has nothing to do with how your relationship is going. Having some time apart is important for you both and can help foster your relationship bonds.
The word space in a relationship means you are taking time to put yourself first and to sort yourself out or do things for yourself that would make you feel great and put you in a better mindset to take care of your relationship or life in general.
There are times when situations become unbearable for someone and they just need a time out to sort themselves, you can’t hold out on them for that.
It is a necessary ‘me’ time they need to have and should be understandable.
You shouldn’t be offended when your partner asks for quiet time, there are days when everyone decides to rethink or re-strategize in order to look for a solution/ problem they are facing.
For your partner to require space or some time off, it could be some personal problems such as (work, family, friends, psychological, etc) or even your relationship.
It is your duty to adhere to such a plea, doesn’t matter how long you’ve been together.
During such time, you could try figuring out what might have gone wrong recently, text lovely messages daily, send gifts and pray to ask if you could be of any help in his/her task.
Rather than space being a sign that your relationship is at a breaking point, use the medium to show your partner you care and cherish even on the worst days.
The reality is that a brief period of solitude recharges our soul batteries and allows us to give even more to our partners and the relationship itself.
It’s important that you understand your partner at the moment and be of the best support you can to him/her.
Love is a two-way thing so always needs to be reciprocated, Respect is important in a relationship, and it’s shown when you adhere to your partner’s opinion calmly. Say I LOVE YOU ALWAYS
