A male , anonymous writes:

my girlfriend about 1 week ago became very quite and was acting strange. We have been dating for almost 1 year. When confronted she said she did not know what was wrong and she may be in a different space than i am. After talking last night we decided to sleep on it. She called me in the morning and came over to talk. She came in gave me a hug, started crying and said she did not want to break up. However, she said she needed space. What does this mean?

chrissymarie agony auntit can mean so many things, and i dont want to get you upset even more but i will tell you to be perpared for what ever comes out of this, she may tell you she dont want to break up and she just needs some space but she may be breakin up with you and dont know how to tell you...but she may really need space.....

and by her saying that she needs space, that means that she needs time to herself and think about things thats been bothering her, i know you probly thinkin why she cant talk to you about it but sometimes when people see each other all the time for a long period of time they just want space........

just let her take her time and dont keep bothering her if she is ready to talk she will let you know....well good luck

Your girlfriend wants time to herself. Maybe she's working up to telling you why exactly, but for the time being, leave her be and tell her you'll be waiting to hear from her when she's ready.

This may or may not have something to do with you, so be prepared for a long talk either way when she comes around and be prepared to play the role of "supportive boyfriend" for a while after, she sounds pretty shaken up.

Good luck.
