Giving your partner free space isn't a bad thing. Space is good so don't give freedom. I'll give you 7 reasons why you should do this now
Space Is Good
Why you need your space
1. You can be "The Old You" for awhile
When you are in a relationship you learn, you grow, and you evolve. With that going on you may seem like a shell of your old self but deep inside you are and forever will be the old you. Try to realize that space is good, and enjoy being free. When you have you freedom to be yourself when they aren’t around you can go back to things you like such as playing video games or Harry Potter… All are examples.
2. It creates the "Miss You" factor
When you are in love you may have the urge to be around them because… well, you love them. Over time that same feeling may begin to fade if you don’t give them time to disappear from your life for some hours. Think about this, how can you buy your boyfriend or girlfriend a secret gift if they are always around?
3. Gives you time to reflect
Giving your better half some space will give you time to reflect on a lot of things. Maybe you need to be free to think about an argument, or maybe you may want to propose to them either way you need time to process and run this by others or internally to decide if you are doing the right thing. not everyone can a great decision on a whim so let them breathe so you can think.
4. Prevents clinginess in a relationship
One major reason you’d need to give them space is to prevent becoming “clingy or co-dependent” on them. When someone is clingy they have a hard time letting you be alone and always want to be where you are which can be a bummer. When someone becomes co-dependent they are looking at you as if they are the left eyeball and you are the right. You don’t need this to happen because once the two of you separate from each other life will seem meaningless without the other and freedom will be absent from the scene.
5. Allows you to maintain individuality
Another reason why giving some space can be a good thing is that it allows you to maintain your individuality. Nothing is wrong with a solo adventure and for some doing more things alone or having introverted tendencies will allow you to be one with yourself once more. When was the last time you were able to go to the movies or go on a long drive (not going to work) and just zone out? Keep your individuality. Hold on to being free sometimes.
6. Lets you hang out with others
One of the cool reasons why space is a good thing to give in a relationship is that it allows you to hang out with your buddies. When you are with your homies you can do fun things without feeling the same pressure and judgment that you would feel when you are with your spouse. Maybe you need to get a second opinion on a topic and an unbiased one so you ask your buddies. The vibes you feel and the bond you have with people outside of your closest relationship matter just as much as your personal.
7. More time, means more arguments
Let’s face it, no one is perfect. No relationship is perfect either. The only way you could have a perfect relationship is if you were able to clone yourself and all your ideas and then date yourself. As far as I know, this cant is done. Therefore, you need to get some space because being around each other too much can lead to unnecessary arguments. Imagine fighting over the smallest thing for example “you ask a questing about an NBA player’s beard but in the next second it turns into a debate about how much you do not love them”. Sounds pretty outrageous but shit happens when you are always around.
Conclusion:
Don’t be afraid of getting some time alone. You should be able to have your freedom while being in a relationship. If you feel you are not getting the space you deserve then maybe you need to get give them the space they deserve.
