I just want tips on how to give a guy space and if I'm right for doing this

Ok so this weekend my guy has talked to me all day Saturday and I mean no contact at all.I try to make contact he doesnt reply at all so I leave him alone thinking he's busy.Today he hasnt talked to me at all again and i left him alone for half of t'he day But I was worried sick But not in like "oh hes cheating on me" way more like "Omg I hope he's alright" like i was afraid something bad happened to him

And t'he reason i thought was because i know that he goes through ALOT.He was shot in his leg not too long ago(that should give You an idea) so i think i asked him if he was alright he still didnt answer and i was really worried.But i tried to calm down and tried to consider other reasons like maybe he wants to be alone or maybe hes phone was masses up or something so a few hours later I said

"Babe you don't have to converse with me just text back of you're alright" and he texted back and he just simply wanted space and I accepted it jokingly and calmly and was relieved and I simply left him alone and I plan on just being patient till he decides to talk to me again.So what do you guys think? Was I good girlfriend that time? Hahaha lol

chigirl agony auntIt sounds like he doesn't care much, doesn't it? He leaves you worried, and to be honest it is rude not to reply to your messages.

You were a good girlfriend by leaving him to his space, but he wasn't a good boyfriend to you going about it this way. If he needed space he should have talked to you about that instead of leaving you hanging. It is not respectable to you to ignore you for such a long period and for no good reason.

What does he want space from? Everyone, or just you? That is what I would be worried about, and wondering if perhaps he's a good boyfriend or he just sees you as someone he can pick up and drop off when he's tired. You're his girlfriend, he owes it to you to reply to you and talk to you. If he wants space he needs to take a break from everyone else, NOT YOU! You're supposed to be the one he turns to and talks to if things are tough, not someone he needs to avoid.

tennisstar88 agony auntHow long has your boyfriend been neglecting this relationship?

What was his reason for asking for space?

I would think that if you recently got shot in the leg you would need someone around helping and babying you.

I would ask him why he wants this space and for how long. Generally, the person needing the space specifies that he needs you to back for about a week or 2. Then you wouldn't really call or hang out with him. He would contact you when he wants to see or talk to you.
