Take some time to really think about the reasons why you feel how you do. You may want to write down these reasons for you to reflect upon later. This will help you form answers to your boyfriend's questions about your decision. Some common reasons for wanting space in a relationship are needing some alone time to decompress after a busy week, wanting to focus on a project, or taking care of private family matters. Your boyfriend will most likely want to know what taking some space apart means for your relationship. If you determine that you want to break up with your boyfriend, it is best to do so now. Togetherness and separateness are balanced in healthy relationships. In healthy relationships, you also feel like your own person and have friendships outside of the relationship. A good time would be when you are both relaxed, calm, and able to focus on listening to one another. A public place that is quiet where you can still talk may help you avoid a scene, like a park or coffee shop, would be a good location.
