7 Tips on How to Tell Your Boyfriend You Need Some Space
5. Do not use the words “I need my space”
It neither sounds right nor is easily understandable by a man. So, if you want to go for lunch with your coworkers or girl friends, do not say “I need my space”. Instead you could say that you need the afternoon to yourself since you are going out for lunch.
6. Speak the truth
Despite the situation, make sure you speak only the truth to your boyfriend. Only then, there is transparency in the relationship. Only then can you expect the same from him. However, the truth is, your character will never take a beating when you are just and honest.
7. Don’t get carried away with alone time
Make sure you don’t get too carried away with alone time. If you consider your relationship seriously and want to take it several steps higher, then you must give time to it. While some amount of alone time is healthy, too much indulgence can make it detrimental to the relationship.
There are gentle and mature ways in telling your boyfriend you need some space if you really need it. But the line between gentle and annoying is sometimes blur. If you love your boyfriend, make sure you figure out the difference before you communicate.
