All relationships go through a phase when both partners realize that they're stuck. When you come to this point, you may think that giving a man his space is the best solution, but is it? How do you know that this is now the perfect moment to give him space? So when, exactly, should you let him take a little sabbatical?
When you feel that you're living with a stranger in the house.
When he starts acting weird and his sweetness has begun to wane, then it could only mean that his mind is drifting someplace else. He's placid because he's preoccupied with something - hopefully not someone else!
When he has a blank expression on his handsome face.
If you're used to seeing his face so full of life and happiness and now all you're seeing is Mister Doom and Gloom, then it's high time that you let him off the hook...for now. If he won't talk about it then that could only mean that he doesn't want you to get involved because he wants to solve this on his own.
When his friends know but you don't.
There's obviously something wrong but he won't talk about it. Yet you've heard from his friends how he has opened up to them. This is really hurtful so you've got to show him that you're not - at all - pleased. Tell him to have his time off and to come back when he's finally ready to talk!
When he starts keeping secrets from you.
A guy who isn't normally secretive but who is now starting to do hush-hush things is obviously trying to conceal something. Whatever it is, whether he's just trying to come up with a surprise for you or if he's having personal issues, it really doesn't matter. Just let him off the hook so that he can concentrate on solving whatever's bothering him.
When he seems to snap at the least amount of annoyance.
Yet another odd behavior is when he starts to get annoyed at you for the minutest matters. Ask him if he's having overtime later and he'd readily snap at you. He'll suddenly tell you that you're already controlling him!
When he can't explain what's bothering him.
Be thankful if you still have a guy who respects you enough to gently tell you that he can't talk about his dilemma. If he tells you that this is something that he has to do or solve on his own, then let him. Don't get in the way. Let him have his space so that he can finally get over it.
When he prefers to lock himself up.
Be seriously bothered if your man starts to distance himself from you more often now. Locking himself up means that something serious is going on but he really can't talk about it. You may be able to coax him to come out of the room but he'll never be as talkative as he usually is.
