Mostly everyone has been in what they'd consider to be a great relationship that was going along well then suddenly things change and your boyfriend tells you he wants more space. It's like a punch to the gut. There can be several reasons why a boyfriend would suddenly want some more space. These reasons can include family issues, his own insecurities, or many times a fear of relationship commitment. Below are some tips you can use to answer the question, how do I get my ex back if he says he wants more space.
- You don't want to lose your grace and dignity or allow him to take advantage of you. Even though you're still in love with your ex you should play a little hard to get initially. This will let him see that he lost something special when he let you slip out of his life.
- There are ways to tell if your ex boyfriend still has feelings for you. If you believe he does, you should initiate a conversation with him. You do want to keep this communication way down because you don't want to start or be a part of any drama. Sending short text messages, having very brief phone calls or electronic conversations are a wonderful means of reminding him that he still wants to be a part of your life. You do not want to overwhelm him with messages and your virtual presence, though, because he really may need some space and crowding him will work against you.
- If all goes according to your plans, your ex boyfriend will begin to show interest in you again. This will give you the chance to really reminisce with him. Remember that you must focus on the good memories during your relationship. Steer clear of any negative or bad memories during this time because you don't want to undo the work you've just done.
- If you're doing all of this and your ex boyfriend is not responding, take his actions at face value. He might truly need space. In this case, you should give it to him. Or he just isn't interested in you at this point. That's alright, too. Just go on with your life. On the other hand, if he does seem to be interested, you should gradually continue your advance on him in order to rekindle the relationship.
- If you're getting the right signals from your ex, try opening your heart to him. You want to cue him in on your feelings while avoiding looks of desperation or neediness. If your ex is giving you any signs that he'd like to rekindle things with you, it would be a healthy addition to your relationship repertoire. Open up to him and let him in to your heart. But if he's giving off signs to the contrary, you'd be wise to just back up and let things happen in a more natural way.
