My girlfriend wants ‘space’?
So she said she wants space to decide what she wants in our relationship because we’ve been arguing a lot lately and I obviously don’t want to break up, but she said she still loves me we’re just not two people who should be together, I think she just said that in the heat of the moment but based on this how long shall I wait before I contact her or should I wait for her to contact me? Thanks in advance

You don't contact her at all. Are you even listening to what she said? Give her space and when she is ready she will contact you. If you contact her before then you have not given her space and will just push her further away. If you don't have the patience to wait for her she will think you are weak and get turned off even more.

Give her the space she needs and go about your own life in the meantime.She needs that time to sort herself out.Let her contact you when she's ready.It works better that way. The fact that you both argue about things means you both havent solved those problems. Relationships are teamwork.It takes 2 people to make a relationship work.Solve each problem real quick.Be patient.

Honestly, when a girl says that “she wants space” it means she is going to be having sex with and pursuing another man, and she wants to see if the other man will commit to her or if the other man just wanted casual sex. If the other man just uses her, she’ll come crawling back to you, or she might date him long-term if she feels he’s a higher value mate and he’s willing to commit.
And the reason she says that she “wants space” is because she wants privacy and seclusion so that she can F*uck this other guy without you knowing, without you being around or you influencing her emotionally by texting. She doesn’t want to feel guilt and she definitely doesn’t want to be “caught” by you. She wants to keep it a secret from you. Obviously, she knows that if you knew this, you would ditch her, and then she would have no one if the other guy doesnt want a long term relationship with her.
You need to call her out on this matter-of-factly, tell her you know what she’s doing, and to STOP it
Source(s): Tell her that if she doesn’t apologize and stop at once, tell her that if she doesn’t immediately come back to you and stop talking to the other guy, that you will dump her forever and never take her back, and then chances are the new guy will use her for sex and then she will have no one. Tell her you’re not going to be her back up plan, so she needs to come back to you right now, or never, she doesn’t get to “have her cake and eat it too”. Tell her that’s exactly Word for Word, and explain it just like I did, so that you appear knowledgeable and like you know it’s going on. Girls prey on guys’ ignorance and gullibleness in situations like this. But when you show that she’s not going to get away with it, that you know what she’s doing, and that there’s going to be a punishment if she doesn’t immediately stop her actions (The punishment being you dumping her and letting any of your friends know the hoe behavior she did), then your girlfriend will come back to you - 2 years ago

You need to ask her to talk to you about her doubts. It's one thing to fight but if you can't resolve those arguments and work things out, no amount of space is going to solve anything. Space sometimes can help give perspective but if you haven't put in any work in trying to come closer together on those issues you're apart you're not really giving the relationship a chance. It takes two to make it work and if you don't want your relationship to end that's what you will have to do.
So send your girlfriend a message letting her know you want to talk about things, with help if needed, to see if the two fo you can't come closer together and find a better way to resolve your issues together. See what she says and take it from there.
In the mean time look online for blogs, websites that can deal with relationship problems and how to improve communication together. The good ones will have examples of conversations you can/should have together or examples of different approaches you can take to come to a better outcome. If you can take those as a guide you've got a better chance to make this work. And if you can show your girlfriend you are willing to put in the work, she's more likely to want to continue too.

She she wants to break up but wants you to do it for her so she doesn't have to take responsibility for it, and gets to blame you. At the same time, she says she loves you. She sounds confused and overly emotional. Let me guess, you've been arguing about stuff that doesn't make a lot of sense to you, and she's been acting kinda crazy. Girls get like this when they feel insecure, and they feel insecure when they stop trusting the guy they're with. The biggest cause of mistrust is when a guy doesn't take enough responsibility for her emotional state and keep her balanced and stable. She needs somebody to take charge, lead her to somewhere beneficial, and keep her safe from spinning out of control. You've let things get bad, so now she's having a temper tantrum and saying irrational, contradictory things.
Either assert some dominance and take control of your girlfriend to reign in her crazy, bring her back down to earth, or break up with her. Otherwise this is just going to get messy and dragged out and end up in a break-up anyway.
The right time to assert dominance is immediately, and at all times. You shouldn't delay. Don't give her silence without first explaining to her what she's done wrong to earn your silence. Call her out for her crazy behavior, and make it clear you won't give her the attention she's desperate for until she behaves like a rational adult. It's the job of a man to create order out of chaos, to establish functional expectations and punish dysfunction. That is what women need from us, whether they realize it or not.

It does take two to argue! You do need to work on your relationship if you are to save it. Reading books like Dr Phil McGraw's excellent, Relationship Rescue helps to give us deeper insights into how relationships! (I wish I got commission, as I recommend it to so many people!). As he writes in the book, it isn't only or people whose relationships are in trouble. There are other excellent books, of course.
