How to give a guy space
Determine what space means.
Once you have been asked to provide more space in the relationship, find out what that will mean for the two of you. Perhaps he is just looking to have a bit more alone time on the regular but doesn't want to cut off communication.
Or maybe he is feeling a bit trapped and wants to figure out if this relationship is working for him. Whatever the cause, make sure to clarify the reason as well as next steps.
