I need space, but i cant bring myself to leave.

Me n my boyfriend have been living together for the past 3 months now. For a while i thought it was great, but now i can feel myself getting short-tempered with him and i get really annoyed by the small things he does. I want to tell him i need space, but everytime i pack my stuff and THINK about telling him i need space, i can't bring myself to go through with it. It's not that im afraid im going to lose him, its just i don't want to be without him. But i need space too.

Is It Normal?

  • your b/f can't be your whole world. That's why girls tend to have ladie's nights out, and also why guys tend to go to the bar or go golfing, etc. It's time away from the significant other to have that kind of space.

  • I think you also need to understand no one is perfect, it takes A LOT of maturity & understanding to co-habitate with someone. Im not saying you dont have those things, just saying it takes a lot of communication & understanding. I think you need to tell him how you feel, even if its every day silly things.

  • if you cant leave then try haveing a few nites out, talk to hm and be honest. when you move in together you cant throw away friends agree for each of you to have a day set aside to go out with friends, he can have guy time and you have girl time. maybe even have a couple days set whatever works best with you. its normal to feel crowded. but talking and setting boundries are all thats needed not actually leaving.
