Many relationships have been destroyed because of lack of knowledge about this interesting topic. Falling in love is a wonderful thing. However, staying in love can be quite a challenge. When you become part of another person's personal life, there are times when things get out of hand and
you end up stepping on each others' toes. In the case of long term relationships, the tendency to be possessive crops up, and after a while, one or both of you end up
feeling stifled and suffocated in the relationship. If left unchecked, this could fester and eat into your bond and indeed even into your relationship. Learning how to give your boyfriend more space can save
your relationship. If you wish to make your relationship work in the long run, you need
to make short-term changes in order to ensure that you can both breathe freely in your relationship.
To do this, you need to give your boyfriend/man more space. When the word "space" is mentioned, it might conjure up images of distance and separation. These images may later lead on to disturbing thoughts of a breakup. If that is what is running through your mind right now, it is probably time to pause and actually consider what it means to give your boyfriend space. Remember this - "space" is NOT synonymous with "breakup". Giving your boyfriend space just means that you step back a little so that he will have the time and ability to go about his normal routine without feeling closeted in by you. Many men complain that their girlfriends don't give them enough space and demand that they account for all their spare time. While this might seem interesting and
even cute at the beginning of a relationship, it can become quite a strain as time goes by.
Your boyfriend might have goals of his own that he needs to work on. Or, he might wish to spend time with the boys or with sports that he loves. Further still, he just might want some time to himself to relax or
sort things out. If you truly want your relationship to last, give him the time and space he needs. Consider the following points on how to give your boyfriend more space.
Ways To Give Boyfriend Space
The first thing you need to keep in mind to give your boyfriend time is to stop expecting him to spend every free minute either with you or talking to you over the phone. Understand that he has a life of his
own, and until he makes a commitment to you in terms of marriage, he will still have a life of his own no matter how much you love each other. Understanding and accepting this will help condition your mind with regard to further steps in giving him space.
The second thing that you need to remember is that you should not make your boyfriend feel stifled with calls, messages, e-mails and other forms of communication from you. You might be more than happy to
stop expecting him to constantly keep in touch. However, are you inundating him with excess communication? An occasional message or a sweet e-mail will touch his heart. However, if you take every moment
you get to keep texting or e-mailing him, it will begin to annoy him over a period of time, no matter how much he loves you.
A third point to remember is to go slow on verbal expressions of love. Some women want to keep getting reassured as often as possible that they are loved and cherished. While this is natural and women do have
the need to feel loved, expecting your man to keep on telling you that he loves you will end up annoying him. There are many ways in which a man expresses his love - these ways can range to a simple look, a touch, a gift or just an occasion he takes out of his busy life to spend time either with you or talking to you. Look for ways in which he
shows you that he cares, instead of always expecting him to say that he cares. Apart from this, avoid repeatedly telling him that you love him.
After a while, it becomes meaningless. In order for your words to really mean a lot to him, limit them and express them in a way that he will never forget. Finally, give your man the time he needs. Your intentions might be really good when it comes to giving your man space. However, many
women make the mistake of giving their boyfriends a deadline when it comes to space. They might give him all the space he wants for a month or two and then start stifling them again. For many others, it might be rather easy to give their boyfriend space for a few weeks, but then they begin to miss the old routine and conversations, and they go back to stifling their man with full force, even more than before.
If you feel that your man needs space but are unsure as to how to go about it, choose a time when both of you are relaxed and take time out to discuss the matter with him. You will be able to deal with the situation better, and will be able to mutually agree as to how much space is needed, and for how long it would be needed. This will help build your bond and will make your relationship last for a lifetime.
See you at the top!!!
