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 hard part is finding a happy medium that both people are comfortable with. This is made more difficult when you each have very different ideas about togetherness and space. But as long as you can compromise on the level of space in a relationship that you both need, then you can work through this challenge.
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.
While others love to be sociable, there are others who love solitude. They are just happy to do things alone without the feeling of doing things for others which makes them exhausted easily at times.
There are person who are on the extremes and there are also people who are in between who likes to have some time alone to relax and do things on their own and also like to be together with their partner at times.
So if both of you have met on the same ground, th easier it will be to be able to define where the spaces will be in the relationship. If however both of you are extreme and luckily on the same extreme side, then it will also be easier since both of you will certainly agree on the terms of space you both want.
When you want to have a space in your relationship and you partner does not like being alone for some time then this may be a problem to you and your relationship with your partner. Both of you must discuss the ways on which both of you will agree on the space that is needed for your relationship. It is important to know and understand what the reasons are to be able to come up with a compromise that both of you can be happy about.
When one or two extremists on opposite sides are in a relationship, meeting halfway can be difficult. The other may like solidarity so much for personal reasons but can be misinterpreted by the other as something else. When you want to be alone and your partner is always there, you tell them to go away but they can misinterpret it as your way of saying you do not need them.
If you love being with your partner all the time and your partner likes to have quality alone time frequently then your presence can affect their composure and will misinterpret your presence as a lack of trust and they will also think that you are around them so much to be able to monitor all their movements.
Both the situations can really cause problems to your relationship but all you have to do is initiate in opening up your thoughts to them. Express what you want and let them express theirs too. It is important that both of you can understand each others feelings.
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.
