Marriage is an adjustment that takes some getting used to. So don't think by him telling you he needs space that this is a personal attack against you or that your marriage is in jeopardy. It's not. It doesn't mean he doesn't love you. He does. He just needs some time to himself.
Home is supposed to be a relaxing environment and if he feels you are on top of him all the time, it's going to make him feel uncomfortable. Telling him about your day the second he walks in the door, setting up chores for him that are on your timetable not his, are just 2 ways that cause men to freak out and feel smothered.
Read "Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus" written by John Gray. He touches on this exact subject including the man cave and how to adjust to giving a man his space.
I know it's frustrating. But marriage is an adjustment that takes a little bit of time. Be thankful he's open with you and is telling you how he feels.
