Women requiring space? I honestly think it is the other way around. But since you are coming off in this sense, I would have to say a woman is always making the relationship work. She is making sure that the two of you are happy. When she hasn't done anything wrong, she tries to make sure that her man has everything he needs. She gives him the things that he wants. She pays attention to everything that he might tell her, cause she never knows when she is going to be asked about that little detail later. Once she asks for space, that means that she wants you to do some of those things from her. Why is it that guys don't take the initiative to step up and do something for their woman before she wants space?

because sometimes a guy or significant other can cloud their space and then they wont think clearly.... or maybe something major has happened and they need time to think about it....all couples need some time apart even if its just for a day or two every once in a while.... its healthy..... and spending some time alone can help a person really be who they are and not what others want htem to be.... its all about independance and not always being a couple.... its nice but at the same time its also nice to do things by yourself and have your own life and your life with your other half.... and that can normally turn into a longer lasting relationship....

They've been fooled into thinking that unless they maintain their independence then they're not whole people...if they don't continually prove that they don't need men in their lives, that they are somehow saying that they do need men. They are afraid of "losing themselves". The ironic thing is that, in relationships, you must lose yourself in order to find yourself...so these women never really have a full relationship or a whole life. The fear of not being a whole person prevents them from having a whole life.
Why do women fear this? They always have, to a certain extent...but they valued the relationship they had with their man enough in order to fight back that fear. Now that they've been duped into never conquering that fear, and that the fear is healthy and should be listened to, we get less and less women who are able to have full relationships. What has duped them? Feminism and the media that pushes it. According to feminism, men ARE to be feared and not trusted. The end result will be that many women are, as they grow older, cold and alone...which is sad. The men will just look elsewhere for wives...somewhere where they haven't been brainwashed by feminism and the media.

Its what they do to keep us men on are toes. But here is what you do if she wants space fine go out see you Friends don't think about her in that time. After you do this a few times you will be the one asking for space because you wont be able to get her away from you for a second.

I think all people require "space" now and then, not just women. I know when relationships are new sometimes you're all over each other but really no one wants to be smothered and most couples do not want to spend every moment together.

Everybody needs space from time to time.
I am not sure if what kind of family you grew up is of any importance. I think that only children probably need their space more than someone from a big family. I think, for whatever reason, when you have got used to being happy in your own company, you still need time on your own when you are in a relationship

there is so much more that we do every day that you can't see... there are so many things we feel we are responsible for and we try to give all of those things their due attention.... you are a great priority, but not the only one we have
women have to run a house, go to work, raise childeren, be a good partner, and we are expected to be perfect and organized in the process.... we're not requiring space, we just don't want you screwing up the delicate juggling act we have going on all day

Everyone deserves space. If you were attached at the hip I can't imagine you would have much to talk about after a while and such relationships would be sure to burn out pretty fast. Obviously it works differently for other folk but I know I would go stir crazy.

Likely, the same reason for why many men want their own space too.! No?

It is very natural and healthy to be able to separate for a while from your partner. It is valid for both men and women. This usually helps to reinforce the relationship and it might develop a deeper sense of mutual trust.
