For some time now, my boyfriend has been telling me he wants to take a break or he needs space. We still meet frequently despite this.

Lately he said it again. This time he said he is stuck with me. The thing is that when he says these things we will play afterwards and I will not take what he said seriously. I think he's serious and just trying to cushion the blow for me. I don't want him to lose his temper one day and tell me to get lost to my face, finally.

What do you guys think of this situation? I looked at it and I believe he wants me to leave. Can you state your opinions, and also ways to move away, heal and stay strong?
It's no big deal...It is actually a subtle message for you to stand back and reflect on what you are doing and his actions.

Are you becoming clingy?

Are you becoming demanding with urgent stuffs?

Is he doing well with what he is into?

Again, what are you doing to better yourself and make your self a hotter cake?(Income, self development etc)..A woman must be responsible to herself to increase her worth.


Lastly, have you heard of zodiacs? Read up on it...You know his date of birth as well as yours...study compare and contrast it will help you understand him very well, and if he isn't compatible with yours...Detach slowly and move on.......Never easy but worth it.

I laugh so hard when a guy or lady says I don't understand what this term means.. giving space means please you are not needed again... Take heart cry sorry for the breakfast... Love is wicked Sha...
Re: My Boyfriend Says He Needs Space. by Nobody: 10:05am On Sep 06, 2021
I am sure 100% he wouldnt ask for space if he hasn't had sex with u... ur still a rookie @ relationship... dont date any guy without letting him know through ur body language that U've got even better options than him and that ur choice to choose him is a privilege he shouldn't misuse, misunderstand or take for granted.


Quote me if you want a 100% working solution to this

From a personal perspective, your boyfriend saying this could mean that you're all over in his face, suffocating him with too much attention, calls, messages. Learn to live your own life, independent of him. Stop projecting yourself as too desperate. Create an atmosphere where you can be missed, being available all the time no too dey alright.

When a guy wants to breakup with a girl that's how it starts, it's better for you to jejely let him go so that the breakup won't be painful for your mental health going forward. Cos what you're trying to do is to buy more time for your breakup, which will end up badly Las Las if you don't let him go.

I'm talking from experience with my girlfriend, but she moved on and join FG work, now Na me dey regret why I break up with her.

My advice to you is to move on and improve your life. What will be will be

phemmyfour:
You are choking him.... Don't appear desperate, give him space
Exactly!
Plain and simple. He is being CHOKED!

Give him his space to be with himself sometimes. Everyone needs their privacy. Some, more than others.
I know this, cos I've been there more than once.
This happens mostly when you are guy with a wide variety of interests and a lot of people whose social circles you are an important part of.
Then you get to date a lady who has literally no other activities to engage in except a relationship and maybe a job. A lady or guy with two much time on her hands is a ticking time bomb for any relationship they get into.
Worse still if she and the guy don't have mutual interests in things movies and other hobbies. He then has to drop his interests and partake in hers whenever she is around him, hoping that when she eventually leaves, he can have a few moments catching up with stuff he is actually interested in.
When you don't give him that space often to do those things, he'll fill choked up and demand for space. If you refuse, he'll end the relationship.

when a man you claim loves you starts telling you He needs space my dear, He is being idiomatic with you and doesnt want to come out plane so He doensnt Hurt your feelings, probably He has realised that you love him thats why he is giving you a soft landing, my dear if you have invested in that relationship pls just forget it and move on because a man who trull loves you will never tell you to give him space especially when you have been dating for a while and same with a woman. my advice to you is that gather your life together and move on straight away, trust me if He trully loves you He will come around.

OK. He said he loves me but his mind is on making money. He wants to focus on making money, that he doesn't focus on women this long. I've heard sha. Tnks.

I no doubt you oooo...but no be to just push her away na, na to sit her down and discuss the issues and way forward. If the girl know say the guy man no get money and still stay with am, that means she like him, then na for both of them to discuss how to help each other rise, and not to push am comot.... except say the girl no ready to work with am

When they won't allow someone to breathe, how won't he ask for a break. If they are not with you physically they are with you virtually online and if you don't respond immediately yawa go gas. He don tay when I don do that kain gum gum thingy sef.
Re: My Boyfriend Says He Needs Space. by Nobody: 10:57am On Sep 06, 2021
This is one reason premarital sex is not only wrong but traumatic when things go south. I mean.... if you have not been engaging in sexual imorality with him, giving him space or dumping him altogether wouldn't be an issue. But I know you're thinking " ah! After chopping me, he wants to leave". Thats why you're finding it difficult to accept his proposal to pend the relationship.

My dear, leave and never look back. Give yourself some self-worth and let him see it.

You don't beg people to stay when they don't want to. That's tantamount to desperation.
