When is the right time...

to say you need some space? Is it when the problem is really high that it seems like only breaking-up is the only way to solve the problem? Or when everything is calm again and tell everything what is happening to the relationship and being just plain friends is much better?

I think the right time is when you can't handle your relationship anymore, when you feel that your love for her is getting less and less everyday. I think thats the right time to talk seriously and tell whatever reasons you have, its really difficult but you need to be honest!

When problems set in, people tend to want to run away from them. When problems in a relationship set in, some people that are not used to working things out just want to run away (or in this case say they need some space to think things through). Well this may have to do with someone's age, as young people may go through this. Once a person backs off a bit, then gives them some space the other may find that they actually do not want more space but they want to just get together and not be so serious.

When is the right time to break up with someone? Well if you have to come to a forum and ask someone, then you don't know the right answer yet. Make real sure you want to break up with the person, think it all through ahead of time. Sort it all out. Don't just freak out and think you need space, this girl wants more out of this relationship than what I wanted. Don't think I am just trying to have a good time and she wants commitment and so I'm just gonna dump her before she thinks I'm gonna marry her. As the man would probably have that same problem with just about every single relationship until they grow up.
