6 Tips to Give Each Other Space in Your Relationship
4. Talk about the matter with your boyfriend
Talking about how to give each other space in a relationship can be tough if you don’t communicate the problem to your boyfriend effectively. Sit down with him and talk to him about how you both need to grow as individuals even through you are in a relationship. Tell him how you want him to continue pursuing his hobbies even though it means losing out on some time together. Discuss how you can strike a balance to give each other space.
5. Stop behaving like a clingy couple in your daily lives
The first steps you should take in giving each other space in your relationship is to stop behaving like a clingy couple in your daily lives. Avoid holding hands wherever you go, sitting next to each other even when you are in a group, calling each other every hour or displaying your affection for each other in public all the time. If you stop being too clingy in everyday life, it will be easier for you to graduate to the next level and give each other more space.
6. Have regard for each other’s choices
You could come across as a dominating girlfriend if you criticize every decision that your boyfriend makes or disregard whatever he chooses to do. This sort of behavior could be one of the reasons why your boyfriend may demand more space in the relationship. If you become more respectful of what he has to say, you will be going one step further in giving him more space in the relationship. You should expect the same behavior from him for you as well.
