Why does my boyfriend need space? That's one of the most common questions dating women ask. Men are notorious for not being as open as we are when it comes to sharing what they're feeling. Instead of addressing things they let their actions speak for them. That leaves us to trying to sort through what he's feeling or thinking. Unfortunately, we often misread what's going on with a man when he says he needs space or time. That's typically because we just don't want to face the truth. You need to though, if you hope to keep him.

When you're asking the question "why does my boyfriend need space," you likely have looked to friends to help you determine what's going on. Girlfriends are so important but one drawback to asking a friend to help you decipher your boyfriend's behavior is that she may not see things clearly either. A very common misconception about men and why they pull away is they do it because they are so deeply and completely in love that it scares them. The theory among women is that men do this because they get overwhelmed and need room to breathe. That isn't the case.

A man in love doesn't pull back, he tries to get closer. Your boyfriend needs space because he's contemplating ending the relationship. In fact, he may already have one foot out the door. If he was as in love with you as you are with him, spending less and less time with you would be the last thing on his mind. Don't fool yourself or allow others to fool you into believing otherwise.

You may believe that all is well with the relationship and so when your boyfriend suddenly becomes distant, you feel overwhelmed and confused. Men can be quite fickle in a dating relationship meaning they can sometimes be turned off by even the smallest thing. You may have done something, without even realizing it, that your man found unappealing. A few examples are calling him too often, asking him why he hasn't called, telling him you love him before he's ready to hear it or even sleeping with him too early in the relationship. There are a lot of mistakes that women make that damage the relationship. If that's the case with your boyfriend, you need to get busy now trying to repair the bond before it's lost for good.

He Says He Needs Space! Learn How to Tackle This Situation Effectively

So, he finally said it! And let me make a wild guess here - you are freaking out? It's normal to freak out. It's normal to fear the worst because men have a tendency to get distant even when everything seems normal.

They just do this out of the blue and it can surprise anyone. So my first advice to you would be this - DON'T WORRY TOO MUCH.

It's completely normal for a man to get distant and ask for space. But here is the main issue - Some women do not get why a man would want to get distant all of a sudden and in the process they end up making some very drastic mistakes which worsens their situation.

Here is a list of things you should never do:

  • Never act sad or desperate when he asks you to give him some space.
  • Don't ask him to explain why he wants space because you will never get a satisfactory answer.
  • Don't ask him if he is thinking about breaking up with you.
  • Don't ask him about how long he is going to stay away from you.
  • Don't push yourself on him when he is trying to get distant. Let him have his space.

Women become extremely insecure even at the thoughts of being away from their man. In their mind they imagine the worst possible outcome and feel that maybe things might end.

Here is the truth - Things might not be as bad as you are assuming them to be but if you act desperate or needy then your worst nightmare might come true.

Take this as a test. Demonstrate to him that you are emotionally strong and don't really need his support. You are someone who will let him have his space and won't bug him at all unless he decides to come back himself.

Here is a list of things you must do when he asks you for space...

  • Let him know that you agree with his decision and you need some space too in order to figure some things out. Let him know that it's OK if he wants to be away from you.
  • Try to be very casual about it and don't sound surprised. Act as if you expected this.
  • Let him know that there are a lot of things you have been wanting to do but haven't been able to do it yet. And let him know that this will be a good opportunity for you to do those things.
  • Make it sound as if it's a good thing that he is asking for space. Act as if you needed some space from him as well but were scared to ask him. This will gently knock him of his high horse and he will feel a bit rejected.
  • Make it absolutely certain that you do not contact him in any way, shape or form unless he contacts you first. Let him miss you.

There is a famous saying which goes - It's not really about what happens to you, but the only thing that matters is what you do about what happens to you.

The way you behave and tackle this situation will determine whether he will really come back to you or not. Therefore, make it a point to follow all the above instructions strictly and put it into action right away.
