So how much space should you give each other? Your answer will have to depend on what kind of relationship you have. You may be better at things when both of you are constantly together or you would be better off doing something when you have the space from them.
The difficult part here is that both of you must compromise. It is sometimes difficult to meet in between when both of you have different thoughts about your time together and some space. But if both of you can meet halfway and both parties are happy with it then the challenge would be easier to tackle.
Some people don’t like to be alone. They’re much happier spending all their time with coworkers, friends, family and their partner. When they’re alone and doing things on their own they feel a little lost and lonely.
Other people cherish their alone time. Without a little solitude every day they feel burdened and have a hard time relaxing. They feel that they always have to be up or on for other people when they’re around them, and it can be exhausting.
Those two examples were rather extreme in some levels but majority of the people lie in the middle. They want time together and they also want to have a little space in the relationship once in a while.
When both of you have agreed to compromise, then it will be much easier to set the boundaries of the space in the relationship. When both of you are on the same extreme side wherein both of you like your alone times or the times you are together, then it will also be easier.
The problems that arise is when one of you cannot agree on certain things. If you love having a bigger space and your partner does not like the time alone so much, then you both must be able to come into a compromise to be able to come into a common ground and when discussing with your partner, be sure to understand each others point of view then try to come up with terms in which both of you can agree on.
If you love being alone each day for a while and your partner craves company 24/7, here’s the problem. When you say you need space in a relationship and go off on your own, your partner will feel neglected as if you don’t want to be around because of them.
And if you hate being alone and your partner really wants some me-time, then by hanging around constantly you can start to make your partner feel smothered. Your partner might also think that there’s no trust there, and you wont give him or her private time because you’re afraid of what he or she might do when you’re not around.
You can see how both of these situations could quickly cause problems in a relationship. But if you talk to each other honestly and openly about how you feel, then when you need time your partner will understand why.
Understanding is the key for you to be able to know that what your relationship needs such as the space in your relationship may not be the same to them.
