Okay, girls, this is messing with my head. So, me and my boyfriend have been together for a while, and things have been amazing. But lately, I feel like I'm constantly on top of him, and it's suffocating us both. I just need some breathing room to focus on myself and my passions again. But can you really love someone and still crave space? Like, is this normal, or am I being weird?

Hi , I am Ananya Consul, I am a Psychologist. Yes, it is completely normal to love someone yet need space, because that is something that is a part of your personality. The space also gives you a chance to grow independently and might also lead to a healthier relationship. Just make sure you communicate it to your partner to avoid any confusion or misunderstanding.

Hi dear anonymous, This duality of wanting to be closer but not loose yourself in the relationship is common. Relationship in the earlier stages needs confirmity and for that you need to get to know your boyfriend which can happen only when you both are choosing to spend most of your time together. So yeah, you will not have the time to do the things you used to do before the relationship making you feel the need for space. As you get to know each other and you ensure trust is built between you, it will be possible to have a healthy distance between yourselves. But sometimes people forget that the space is important to stay in touch with yourself as well, so check with yourself if you feel you are in need of space it might mean you have got comfortable and trust the relationship so go ahead and start planning to spend time with yourself on a daily basis. Join my live sessions to know more about relationship dynamics and how you can have a healthy relationship. Love, Arthi Sujai
