    Girlfriend of two years and space
    I need some help. My girlfriend and I have been together for over two years. I am 21 and she is 22. We broke up about 10 months ago and were apart for two months. But, this is not the problem. Instead she told me tonight that I do not give her enough "Space". This was very upsetting to me because I have felt that recently I have been giving her space. This has been a constant complaint of hers for years. I do not know how to give her more space. Currently, we only see each other three nights a week, and, we only talk on the phone for a few minutes a night. I am absolutely crazy about her. I love her very much. But, I feel that I am not getting what I need from the relationship. In the last six months we have only had sex 5 or 6 times. I have told her that this is not working for me and at 21 it is a serious problem. She informed me tonight that the problem is she is frustrated over our relationship. I do not know how to give her the space that she needs. I want to so that we can stay together. But, I just don't know how. Anyone who has a suggestion please respond.

    Give her EXACTLY what she wants, no contact starting NOW. She will go nuts.

    Give her what she asked for and leave her alone. Don't call or contact her until she does.

    Considering she does not meet your needs any way, giving her space, permanent space is something you should want to be doing.
    Give her all the space she wants, leave her completely alone. You may find this to works in your favor. Get a life away from her

    I agree! Leave her alone! Sometimes people's ego somehow just get bigger the more you focus on them!

    I don't understand why you're so eager to give your girlfriend all the space she wants when what YOU want is to get closer. You don't see how you two have completely OPPOSITE needs?

    You're attraction to this girl is overwhelming your intelligence. You two want opposite things. Go find a girl who thrives on intimacy, that IS what you want, right?
