What does it mean when you partner wants space?

[marianlaughs]

You need to give him what he wants, I think you both have had enough drama and it might be time to take a breather from each other and collect yourselves. To try to push yourself on him with all he's dealing with isn't helping matters, you need to send him an e-mail telling him that you will be there for him but you agree that you both need your space and if he needs you that you will be there for him then leave him alone. It's time for you to find yourself, go out with friends, get some counseling for yourself and try to get your head straight after you also have been through. Maybe after a while you will both get your heads straight and perhaps you can start anew or realize that's it's for the best if you just move on, so much baggage and sadness.
