Problem is, sometimes the space may allow the mind to roam and another party comes along and fulfil the fantasy, making the re-entry very difficult

Now that u've calmed down to talk, we'll talk. Firstly, In the Religion section, satanism is also discussed and there have been notable members in those threads. Secondly, this is a public forum, yes. But do u see anyones' faces, who has not posted his/ her pic? No. Its a faceless public forum, unlike facebook. God knows i wouldn't ask her such there.

Personal space, as in go to a park and relax, or read for an hour a day by yourself. No one is talking of six months vacation and falling for a nudist named Gustavo. Lol.

Personal space for the right reasons if not in a committed relationship isn't necessarily a bad thing but most times it's just an excuse to play away.

She had all the working hours to herself and coming back for a few hours to be with her before u sleep , she says she need space .
FOR WHAT!!!!!!

Well, there are several reasons she can ask for space in such a situation. I'll examine one.

She works all day, has a nagging boss, papers stacked on her desk, etc. She goes home and meets domestic responsibilities, which she performs. There's nothing wrong with her wanting some time to herself to wind down. I know I surely would. Let her read, watch her favorite program, work out, or whatever she wants to do. Then, she'll meet you in the bedroom.

Sometimes, all you have to do is put yourself in someone's shoes. My mother didn't start giving herself personal time until recently. She's a changed woman, for the better, and I'm very happy for her.

I don't really know about seperate bedrooms though that is a bit much. I think there is enough space in the house or should be to get some me time. I feel couples if married should make sure they sleep in the same bedroom.[/quot


Having separate rooms does not necessarily mean that the couple spend their nights in their own separate rooms. The woman can have a room where she keeps her clothes, foot wears and generally everything that belongs to her but every night, she spends it with her husband in his room.
Even if she has to sleep in her room then it was imperative that she slept there. Perhaps there's a nursing baby or there was a once in a while quarrel with her husband and she needs to cool off or she just needs to be alone away from hubby, the kids, etc. The list is endless.
Separate rooms are really important.

Just as you're the Duke of Naija, you'll need some personal space from d duchess to think about some things eg the removal of fuel subsidy and the price of alomo bitters grin

Lol @ the price of Alomo bitters.
Nothing guarantees anything.
Not Space nor 'Choking'

A Marriage will succeed or Fail if it will.
Its the players d@ matter most.

Couples will definitely get their alone time. So asking for space is down right repugnant. All these divorcees in the making sef!! angry
Re: Personal Space Makes A Relationship Last by Nobody: 10:59am On Dec 29, 2012
@Duke Nija: you're right. I think couples need to solve MOST of their issues together. As the popular proverb says, two (or more, if in a polygamous relationship) heads are better than one.

Re: Personal Space Makes A Relationship Last by ohzee(f): 10:13pm On Dec 29, 2012
Space is important in marriage but should be only occasional. Every woman should have a few minutes to unwind before going to bed. However separate rooms is a no no! Not even for putting your stuff. But if you must have one, make sure there is no bed in it. It's always so tempting to sleep alone after a quarrel. Unfortunately, it only widens the gap in the marriage. It's better to sleep on the same bed with your backs turned. When you realize you are no longer enjoying your sleep you will be forced to make up.
Re: Personal Space Makes A Relationship Last by smoothlips(m): 11:07pm On Dec 29, 2012
Very true. The problem is girls see space as a sign of troubled relationship, they find it difficult to understand why you need a little personal space in a relationship. I believe every relationship is like a small flame, you fan it and allow it to breath(if u keep fanning d small flame u will kill d fire)

she-blayze:
The spacing thingy is well thought of. Once in a while we all need a vacation from everything, including friends, family and work. One simple solution to boredom in marriage is rebranding. If wifey is busy tryina upgrade in her career and hubby(husband)is doing same, the result might be 2-sided. Either the "getting a space" thingy is achieved and life gets more exciting, Or couple gets torn apart. It happens everyday, I mean, suddenly hubby or wifey wakes up and say "we used to do stuff together, but now we're like strangers to eachother". You know what the next thing is! "divorce". Methink that, whoever you wanna get married to should be someone who will give you all the PEACE you want. And that can only come from someone who understands you perfectly well.
