She has days off but doesnt call as she would be. Hello Joe, We just had the phone call about her needing space. Is that sign from her she is not interest with me anymore? I tell her to broke up if thats what she want but she refused and tells me that she need time to think maybe shes wrong. Do those same factors that you wrote about apply to best friends that have feelings for each-other, but werent dating or in a relationship? Yesterday morning I saw she had a story on instagram (around the time she didnt text me back) at a candle lit restaurant with a drink across from some guy with a beard and tattoos and I know she likes both those things. I read the article and its good solid advice but I may have already came across as scared and desperate. It whas all sweet and i woke up with goodmorning messages everyday and night but slowly it became less as ive felt ive became an lil needy to her and now she just told me she needed some space cause of how much we talked whats the best thing i can do now? I would suggest for you not to look at her stories. Hi Apollonia Im so sad right now. The whole month has been trouble for me since I barely ate, my grandfather died and my job keeps on getting me down the whole time. If finances are an issue, Apollonia provides free content and I know you can find information that will help. Days go by and I decide to ask her out and she said yes. For the last 2 weeks since we made new contact, we do talk daily, but there are some days she is distant and others more friendly. I just want her back and her to trust me again? It had been 3 days and we used to see each other every day and talk every night before bed. The first article What It Means When Your Partner Says I Need Space! said to show up. Or with messages but no meet ups, or totally no contact? Then she really started to pull away and I naturally was trying to pull her back. To walk past her fears. I think we might have put her on a pedestal fast and now were trying to be the savior. She let me know she was in a mood and I asked why never responded. There is nothing more attractive to a woman than a man understanding precisely what she wants and needs. She was very affictionate and caring.

My girlfriend said she needed space after I had a bit too drink and asked if she saw us getting married. soon as 1 says space Im out for good if we cant stay in a home and talk about the issue I cant mind read. As scary as that sounds you have to understand this will make the relationship shine and develop new boundaries or show its true colors. The last 3 years the relationship has been long distance with me flying every quarter to see her and the kids. The problem seems to be that she is overwhelmed by everyday life with work and the kids and everything, at least that is what she told me, but I dont know if the problem is deeper than that. Sorry to hear that, well address this as soon as we can. Coincidentally this was the same day we had plans to go to an event together. Thanks for your blog Hi my girlfriend told me she needed space after 3 years and it was a very sudden thing. Since then she has basically gone on a smear campaigns rampage distorting the truth and sharing private conversations we had when I had been dumped by my ex and we had no contact for 6 months. hello my fiance of 2 months been together for 4 years told me 2 days after Christmas she wanted her space. I just wanted to know what i could do, It was only 2 months ago when we were inseparable and were genuinely a very very in-love couple. Best, I saw her last weekend, have conversation with her friends but not with her (my bad maybe I was suppose to say hello only). I drove home that night and she still sent me a text telling me to be careful driving and to get home safe (which made me feel like, although frustrated, she still cares). now 4 days after last contact . Then this following week i did the same went over didnt tell her i was we went outside and talked for a bit told me that stuff has only gotten worse and i held her in my arms.

But i have a 24 year old girlfriend of almost 2 years. https://www.apolloniaponti.com/private-coaching/ It seems like you might be a little too affectionate with her right now. We were so good together, and she acknowledges that but maintains its just too soon.
