I went through this a few weeks ago..
My bf and I went from seeing each other everyday because we worked together to seeing each other once a week because he works and I go to school. This took a toll on our relationship and one day he decided that we needed a break. He said he needed some space to think things over. Well now about 2 months later we are back together. We were able to work things out and I think that the break kind of made our relationship better. So sometimes needing space is not such a bad thing after all...
But when he said the he needed space he said that he did not want our relationship to be over... he just needed time... So i guess it depends on the situation...

Yup. I was told by my BF that he needed space after we'd been dating for about 5-6mos. We saw each other less, and mostly talked by phone about once a week. About a month went by, and he called me and said "I miss you a ton." We went back to normal, and progressed from there into a really serious relationship. We've been dating for almost two years now, and plan to move in together in about three months.
Don't lose hope, but make sure you know that it can go either way.

No. It is the beginning of the end. Clearly things are not working out and adding space doesn't help. Either get closer and work through the issues or leave. Middle ground doesn't do anyone any good.

sorry . might as well run while you can.They may come back for awhile but they'll need space again.Usually they come back for fear of being alone or because they're too afraid to tell you the truth.Read the book "he's just not that into you" for more details.I know.Ive been living it for 13 years and its a painful road.You'd think at 50 theyd have had enough "space". lol. he gets space then misses me comes back needs space.I dont even get upset anymore

yep, and it was me that told him i needed some space..i needed some time away from a relationship, i was unsure of where we were headed and i guess i got a little scared..we got back together about 4 months later and everything is going fine..and its been 6 months that we've been back together..i think im ready for the relationship and he was patient with me..

yes..but be sure to know the real reason. many relationships are not working because they started it for the wrong reasons. if the reason for "need space" is to know more about herself/himself, then that's fine. sometimes because of your closeness, you will be blinded to see your own strengths and limitations. Knowing oneself will lead to self-adequacy and eradicate insecurities. Just be sure that such space is needed to make a strong relationship and build lasting friendship.

To say I need space is a complete blow out. Time to move on with your life and not concenrate on lowdowns/

Yup. After we had been dating for a while (actually living together) my husband wrote me a long note breaking up with me saying that. I said no.
It was a long rough patch, but since I mentioned earlier that he's my husband now, it worked out eventually.
