Space After Argument

@Mikanicolay @Mikanicolay Hi I am Ellen G and I hope you are doing okay. I am a person who is reserved when they are stressed especially if there was a huge argument. Sometimes giving space can be the best thing for a person and showing level of compassion.  I would tell your partner that you are open to communication and that when they are ready you can be too. That way there is space, communication and a sense of compassion between the both of you. Hope everything gets better and I hope the best and better for both of you. :))) 💗

Yes it's normal, sometimes space can really be helpful that you both can think wisely and avoid new arguments.

@Mikanicolay yes this is normal. I usually encourage couples to give at least a week window to sort things out. I also realize that your boyfriend is dealing with other issues outside the relationship so it is necessary to give him time while also opening up the floor for communication at certain intervals.

@Mikanicolay hi there. thank you for sharing this with the community!

@Mikanicolay I don't think that anyone can answer this without knowing the proper contexts. Listening to such advises maybe harmful for you . Only you know what the entire situation is , so do what you think is right.  Try to write down your thoughts it will help you understand yourself better 

@Mikanicolay

As it can feel like your doing something wrong your not doing anything wrong. 

It can be hard when there is someone that you love and care for not to be there anymore. 

What stresses are going on outside of his life and can you help him through those while also working on your relationship. 

I hope all goes well and good luck.

Hii! People have different ways of coping with stress and conflict. Needing space after an argument can be a way for your boyfriend to process his emotions and thoughts. It's not uncommon for individuals to seek time alone to reflect, especially when dealing with external stressors. Communication is key, so consider discussing your feelings and concerns with him when he's ready to talk. Understanding each other's needs can help strengthen the relationship.

@Mikanicolay

Absolutely. Giving space to the other person after the argument helps in processing what went wrong and ultimately helps in building a stronger bond and understanding of each other.

In case of stress outside the relationship, getting support and care from the partner helps in a better understanding of your feelings.

@Mikanicolay

It depends with the argument in question. People handle conflict differently if the issue is severe and they just need to recollect their thoughts they may ask for a break. There are those who won't find it a big deal and will be patient to wait till they come through especially since you have stated he has been going through stress out of the relationship. May not even be the argument but just factors surrounding the outside stress. Its Okay to be patient and wait when he comes through then you can have a conversation on way forward and how to handle disagreements. 

@Mikanicolay

Hey, thanks for sharing this with us.  I understand how arguments can affect a relationship and sometimes its completely normal and valid to take some time off and work on yourself for a while, and to sort things out. In fact,  this is what makes a relationship healthy. But of course it depends on the context, but every relationship has its ups and downs and i feel both the partiea should work towards sorting the issues, even if it means to have some time off. 

Alrighty that's all,  hope it helps.
