When your boyfriend asks you to give him some space, you'll probably feel hurt, confused, or angry--or all three. It's tempting to take this as a sign that he might be breaking up with you, but it's not. In fact, his vulnerability and willingness to share his feelings gives you both the opportunity to make your relationship even stronger. Whether you're giving him a bit more day-to-day space or taking a longer break, the key to improving your relationship is clear communication and honesty.
