A female Philippines age 41-50, anonymous writes:

Hi I just want to ask for your thoughts. I terribly miss my BF. We've been off for 2 weeks. He asked for a space 2 weeks ago coz we've been arguing on some things and one of these really touched his ego. He was asking for a 1 week space but on the 5th day, we met unintentionally and we casually greet each other. He sent me 2 SMS... then he was cold again. The following day, I texted him if can i still call him our term of endearment and he politely replied "sure babe" and he said he missed me too. Then i asked him if we're ok now...i got no reply anymore. After that until now i haven't received any news nor a single text message from him.

It's been 5 days, I heard nothing from him. Now, i wonder if he is still into me or he is not yet resolved with our issue? But he never put an official closure to our relationship. All i remember during our last talk he said was: "It doesnt mean we're no longer into each other, I think we just need space like 1 week or few days, I want this really to work" Now, i don't know what to think, i dont know what to do, im just guessing about everything. I'm depressed.

Sarasvati agony auntI recall having a similar problem with my ex. He and I had gotten into an argument over control issues and he demanded to have space for a month. I later found out that he cheated on me. However, your case seems to be different because he's only asking for a week. It may just be that he needs time to reassess the relationship and cool down a little. Time away sometimes does wonders for a relationship. Both parties involved gain time to themselves and the chance to find their individuality as opposed to who they are in the relationship. Wait for the time he asked for, and if he does not reply to you on his own, you could try asking him if he's resolved his issues. If he still doesn't make an effort to talk to you, this "space" could be an excuse for him to fool around. In which case you shouldn't think twice about dumping him.

a_maldita agony auntIt's really funny because upon searching for answers I found this website and I can't believe it's not just me, but so many people have the same problem as I do... We have same thing happening to us. Last week my bf and I got into terrible fight that he said he can no longer take it and he wants to end everything between us... Well I wasn't ready and I got very emotional at that time... Admitted that it was my fault why he was mad at me. I accused him of cheating which I know by far he never did for 7 yrs of being together and wouldn't do in the future.. I apologized to him but he told me that if you want me to take you back you have to start acting responsible and try to listen to others since I don't do that... I have not talk to him for a week now since he ask me to give him space and time... He tried calling me 3 days ago but I ignored him and pretend that I'm not interested to talk to him and still hurt... sometimes we need to play hard to get but if they don't anything to contact us then it only means one thing they don't want to get back anymore and we have to be ready when that time comes... Remember you are not alone with this kind of problem... Some even got worst we just need to be stranger in facing it.. Goodluck!!!
