So your boyfriend wants to be apart? Every time a woman hears this, she is likely to think one of two things. She may decide to find the silver lining and convince herself that he needs her space because he is scared by how much he loves her. Other women see him for who he is. They know that when a man says he needs some time apart, it’s his way of breaking up. If it’s your boyfriend saying these things and you’re still crazy about him, there are things you need to do right now to make sure you don’t lose him forever.

When your boyfriend wants to be apart, what is your initial reaction? If you love him, you are bound to plead with him and beg him not to leave. To a distraught woman, this seems like a perfectly logical approach. After all, we would be touched by our boyfriends acting this way if we decided to break up with them. The truth is that men are not in the least attracted to this kind of emotional outburst. In fact, it makes them feel very uncomfortable. They will do everything in their power to get away from you as fast as they can. This is not an approach you want to take.

The best thing a woman can do if her boyfriend wants to be apart for a while is to agree with him. Men never see this coming. It’s one of the reasons some men take months or even years to end a relationship. They do not want to deal with the dramatic consequences of separation. If you do the exact opposite of what he expects, you are taking all control away from him and giving it to yourself. With that one act you have completely changed the dynamic of the breakup. He will be the one who feels rejected and every time a man feels rejected, he wants that woman back. Try it. He will surprise you how he reacts to her.
