What the fukk is space? Writing poems and drinking hot coco? Any man that listen to that bullshyt is a sucka.
And if they don't, that is 100% okay sir. It's a message board so I offered my perspective on why I took a break from someone. If you don't believe or like it, oh well.
Listen to advice from men who have never had a successful adult relationship. Listen to advice from men who don't know how to choose women. You see how that goes both ways?

The alternative.....![]()
When you ask a woman for advice, she doesn’t tell you what works in a world based on reality; instead, she tells you what would work in a perfect, harmonius world where attention is free and plentiful, where no one hurts each other and no one plays any games. She tells you what would work if no one got punished for expressing feelings and interest. She tells you advice that always seems to work in television and movies where the beta always gets the beautiful girl. (Not suprisingly, most mainstream movies are written by beta white guys.)
Want to talk to a girl? “Go tell her how beautiful she is. Her heart will melt.”
Girl not putting out in a timely manner? “Be patient and get to know her better. She will reward you with intense passion.”
Marriage getting a little loveless? “Send her on a week-long spa vacation. She will come back home ready to cook and clean with gusto once again.”
Girlfriend spending your money at expensive dinners? “Spoil her and treat her like the princess she is. The monetary investment will come back ten-fold with eternal love.”
In love with a girl who has a alpha-male jerk boyfriend? “Spend quality time with her and remind her how much better you will treat her. Eventually she will dump the alpha for you, an emotional sack of love who loves going down on women.”
Listening to advice from woman is like asking a car dealer what’s the best way to deal with other car dealers. They are not going to sell out their kind.
Why would you tell them you need space? Why not Be direct and communicate exactly how you feel. And what you're contemplating.
Just honesty
alternative is listen to men that don't do relationships or havent been in one.

Yeeeeeepyou answered your own question homie....
Let her go...
If you want kids and she dont,then thats already a dealbreaker
Exactly, its games they play. They want you to call and miss them, once you say "oh you need space" give back her shyt, delete that number and keep it moving. They pull this shyt soon as they start hanging out with their friends, you know the ones she "hates and dislikes" but talk once in awhile. Those single moms and ratchet ass chicks that are always quick to make those little comments to you and her.This is some real shyt right here. Dont ever let yourself get caught up in female doublespeak. For all the hassle women give men about not communicating, it's usually them that beat around the bush and dont give it to us straight. "I need space" can mean a million things to her, but to you all it should mean is "I'm not committed to you at this time". Best thing you can do is let her go, dont initiate any contact and focus on making yourself better. If it's meant to be, she'll come back.

because you need space....Why would you tell them you need space? Why not Be direct and communicate exactly how you feel. And what you're contemplating.

You need to be direct and stop being vague. If you want to break up, say that. If you need a week to be to yourself, say that. "I need space" could mean we need a bigger house, or it could mean you need to go to the International Space Station.because you need space....
Actually I have had successful relationships if you were trying to throw shots at me.
