What Does It Mean When She Wants Space?

Blame it to the idle time, ha ha. No calls, full internet access ( social networking sites is a no no)...let Google entertain! We were browsing the internet with random topics and bump into this article.

Here's an excerpt from the article....What Does It Mean When She Wants Space?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Translating your girlfriend's bullshit 'give me some space'
speech into a language you can actually understand

Space. Yeah, that's what she wants.

Your girlfriend pushed you aside with vague ultimatums that unless you give her some space, things between you are probably not going to work out.

The 'I need some space' speech takes many forms.

And you want to know the worst part? You probably bought into it. In an effort to appease her and keep her from getting too pissed off, you probably backed off and agreed to give your girlfriend her 'space'... as if she was reporting to NASA tomorrow, for an early morning launch.  ha ha ha...this NASA thing made me laugh, I remembered someone saying this, Uhmmm... Yayo's term for this is " Astronaut"
Well allow me to let you in on a little secret: space is NOT what she wants. 
Your girlfriend isn't looking to spend time apart for reasons of reflection or healing. She's not going to sit innocently by and meditate on your relationship like a monk, to somehow improve it.  Meditate, why not? ha ha
What your girlfriend is really asking for is permission to jump the fence. Warning:  high voltage fence
What fence you ask? That one right over there. The one where the grass is greener on the other side.  Greener pasture... just like a job...Okay. ☺

I didn't copy the entire article because it's too long. It's nice, but this is from a man's view. Well, we have different views.

The real deal is,  if it's an honest request for a space " literally", then, that's not a problem. She might need sometime on her own, more like a self check. You, on the other hand, can use it to also assess the relationship or even yourself. It will give yourself the freedom to decide whether or not staying together is a good idea for both of you.

In our culture, " space" is as good as " breaking up". It's more like a escape route to avoid hurting the other. But, it gives false hope, which is bad. And this word is so " gasgas" na, hehe. If you want to end a relationship, it would be better to talk and answer all the " why's". Honesty is still the best policy, right? I know it's difficult, but, it's better to show respect even at the end of the relationship.
