Bf said he needs time, he said he still loves me but he just needs time. What does this mean?

When people choose to express a kind of desire for purely individual time and space, it can often mean just that. Your boyfriend could be dealing with personal issues that he believes would be best solved alone, on his own. Sometimes, relationships can be an extra aspect of someone's life that can often make it harder to deal with personal issues. This could range from anxiety, depression, or even a feeling of inadequacy, that they would want to(and believe can be more easily) deal with on their own. If he says he still loves you but would like some time alone, I would be more apt to believe what he says and support that choice.

Hey there! I appreciate you asking this question that others may be struggling with as well. Thinking from his point of view this time can really help. What can be the problem if I say I still love you but I just need some time? Obviously there's many possible reasons. I cannot point in one direction and tell you what he's experiencing but there are some general reasons that I can think of. He may be going through something personally and doesn't want to affect you. Imagine you were your bf, would you have asked for time as well? He also can be dealing with problems with his feelings, or thoughts that would take time. Or sometimes they wants some space to maybe collect up everything that's been going on. I hope my thoughts and opinions can help a little bit~ Thank you so much for reaching out 💜

Well this could mean whatever you think it means. The best person to explain what it means is Bf. Try not to assume or guess what Bf meant. Bf can explain the meaning better than anyone. Ask Bf for clarity. If Bf if not able to fully express the meaning, allow Bf to be as clear as Bf is able to about what is meant by those words. Communication is key to understanding. It is a good practice to not allow yourself to become overwhelmed with the words nor it's meaning. Staying calm, open minded, and understanding as best you can will help you to avoid negative emotions over words and/or actions. Respect a person's feelings even when you disagree.

As BeesOnFlowers suggested, your boyfriend could really be experiencing some personal issues and may need some time to handle them. Speaking personally, I would also require some alone time if I had any sort of personal problem. Your boyfriend may not want to project all his issues onto you, he may not want you to be negatively affected by what he's going through. If he still loves you, he will reach out to you once he's better or able to handle his issues more comfortably. People usually try to avoid making their troubles worse and they try to deal with them individually, which is what your boyfriend may be trying to do.

Well if he generally needs time, you should respect his decision and let him come back to you however if it feels like he still go outs and is acting like normal but being distance from you then you should confront him. Sometimes it can just be too overwheleming for partners so they are trying to sort their emotions without hurting you. And surely you would want to help them but sometimes the best help is giving them time. Instead of getting over-emotional and then making them feel bad. They will start to lose interest as you weren't being understanding
