Hi, My boyfriend and I have just decided to give each other more space. I am unsure if this is it, or if it's really just time for us to find ourselves again.
We met, he came over and never left. I feel he's the love of my life, the one I am MEANT to be with. We interact well, have the same interests, and he gives me the love and support I need. I recently lost my job, decided after 17 years to move into another arena altogether, which was hard for me to do. Even though I make half of what I did, so far.
Anyways, he wants me to work on myself, and wants to just "date". I am wondering if it's healthy at this point to do that, and how has it worked out for other people in my boat?

There is already another huge thread about this same subject... Did you find it?

and how has it worked out for other people in my boat?

From what I've read...Some people who break up with the "time and space" line usually use that line because they do not want to hurt their s/o. In other times when they asked for time and space ...that is all they needed. And yes it has worked for some, but the MAJORITY of people who get this "time and space" BS USUALLY do not work out.

Here's the thread that shamen was referring to...Good luck it's long!
