My girlfriend says she needs some alone time!
I have been with my girlfriend for 5 months, we are both in our early 30’s. She and I are both divorced and come from bad marriages. She does not have her drivers license so she is usually just at home with her kids unless out with a girlfriend from work or from the area to run errands or whatever it may be. She loves to have fun and get out and do exiting things especially when kids are at there dads some weekends. I sorta started slackin a bit there but was low on money for a while and she understood yet maybe bored a little but that only happened one time really. I have a 6 year old she has a 3, 6 and 9 year old. We started out slow, I took everything in small steps so that I would not fall in to deep. She began after 4 months to tell me she wants more affection like kisses before bed time, when i leave to the store, etc. I did that for her and many other things. She did however repeatedly ask me to stop doing stupid little things like acting like a kid in public(yelling out mommy or just screwing around), she always said please can’t u just be normal(like dont out of the blue say things like “u want me” sex terms)and i continued to do these stupid things here and there and knit pick her when it was that time of the month, not purposely i just thought she knew i was joking. She even in time begged me not to do that crap cause she fears she will get REALLY angry. And i just did not listen to it even when she was begging me to not do it anymore even if it was once a week. I was falling in love with her by now, taking her for granted that she really liked me cause she said that often and was always so nice to me. We after 3 months were always together ecept for when at work she got me to start staying at her house when she was not at mine, sex was great, we did everything together. But 4 days ago she woke me up in the morning, after already being frustrated from the past weekend because i acted dumb at the store, i got up and walked to her and said, they make pills for that. Cause i knew she just started that time of the month and she is very very testy when that comes. I dont know why i did that, guess i’m an ***. Problem is with all her little needs that i gave into i feel in love and did not stop doing the stupid little things that drove her to the limit. I took her to work, she gave me a quick kiss, told her we would take the kids to amusement park on the weekend and 4 hours later she sends a text that she wants to do the amusement park some other time and right now needs some alone time. My heart dropped and the life was ripped out of me, i’m an idiot because she begged me over months to stop with the stupid comments and i did not and drove her to this point. Never thought it would actually happen, we were so close!!. I text her the next day looking for answers to understand, tols her to not drag me around and that if this ment she is done with me to just say it. she said i never said anything about being done and i said why time alone then she said i like alone time sometimes and time alone with my kids etc, and told me she had begged me to stop and i did not. Out of heatache i asked a few more questions trying to get her to let me come talk to her and she did not budge, said what dont u understand about i just need some time alone. Again i said so u are done the right with me. She still very angrily at this point said no i am not just need alone time. i sent flowers she said buying me things wont change this right now, i told her how much i care and to please talk to me, totally being a little kid about it which i never do but she had got me to fall for her. she still even at boiling point said i like being with you but i need some alone time. I then stopped all communication. We have clothes and other things at each others houses, she has not requested any of that after 5 days now. so i sent one little text saying i was here to talk when she was ready and if she needed anything im here for her i said i miss her and understand what ive done. one day later she has still not responded. TIME how long is that? What do i do? What should i say. I don’t want to loose her, she is a great woman!! I begged her to tell me she was done with me and she would not do it. But yet now that she has not said anything after 3 days of no communication, i am lost. Maybe i am so scared that i need an answer. Yet she has not asked for her things back maybe she does not care about them. Man am i confused, cause we were really close maybe to close to quick but she asked for all the affection. On top of that we always told each other i like u A LOT. and the day after she said i need time when i tried to get answers from her i knew cause the pain that i was falling in love and i tiold her that. Right or wrong i told her the truth and i had the feeling that WORD LOVE might have worried her a bit. I told her you asked for all the affection aginst my wishes, she asked for all my time cause she wanted me sleeping with her, etc and then i goin to act a little weird about the word love?? I told her love to me means caring deeply but must mean somethin else to her beyond her telling me she likes me a lot all the time, etc. So again i asked her to be done with me if this time alone means that and she still said no no!! She said damit what don’t u understand about alone time. So after all that today is the 5th day apart, with no contact at all. seems like eternity. I left her a quick voice mail telling her im here if she would like to talk, i understand what ive done and am truely sorry and i miss her. I sent one email letting her know how i feel and that its ok how she feels but said i do believe that we should at least talk briefly at some point and express our true thoughts. Still she has responded to nothing and i’m getting frustrated and also feel that after five days, she wont even say a word to me that i feel she is scared to tell me she is done. Yet she has not asked for me to return her clothes to her or anything. Complete silence. I dont get that at all in anyway. Just seems the worst is ahead. Sad because we were so close and how is it that easy for her to be able to not even acknoledge me at all after 5 days of silence beyond a few appologetic text i sent to her. IS THIS NORMAL???? HELP ME SOMEONE PLEASE. Do I wait? How much longer? Should I call again? Should I show up at her place with flowers and appologize again in person in a few days ??????? I don’t want to lose her and feel that her not repling after 3 days of alone time means the worse or maybe thats not enough time for her so her not replying means need more time. i did send a text saying sorry and an email explaining how I feel and acknowloging my wrongs and said if she wants to talk I am here. I trust her 100% as a girl that would tell me she is done if she is yet I also think that the worst lies ahead like her just never answering again, and not even asking for her things back. maybe cause my bad past. I really need ur help here big time!!!!!!! Please be honest and read my little story fully. This means a lot to me.

Where were you?
You can also watch events on Help.com as they happen
maybe consider growing up a bit and take the relationship seriously…i’m gonna bet that she is sick and tired of your petty childishness…she has begged you to stop and all you do is nag her more, and purposefully tick her off when she is pmsing…that’s pretty crappy of you…honestly, if you don’t shape up, i wouldn’t blame her for leaving you…
xxrosemary2007x
Thanks for reply, i am 100% commited to stop doing that crap to her. But why the silence and for how long? If she cares would she then why no reply? Does it take months? Do I not contact her at all?
contact her, but she is probably just monumentally pissed and sick of having to deal with constant childishness…apologize and when she comes around again make sure that you behave and treat her like she deserves to be treated…
Have u had or seen similar experiences? Why has she not contacted me yet not even replied to my message yesterday? Do I try once a day? I dont want to make it worse? But what if she is actually done with the relationship? Just scared to tell me? Or is that my own paranoya?
Curious of her age? And how long did u live in the US? Also i thank you and hope you are right but I do need to wait a day or so and hear a few more opinions? I have heard that when a woman says she needs some alone time it means they are pretty much done for good. Maybe my situation is a little different?
needing alone time doesn’t constitute the end of a relationship…it is actually a good thing…it helps you sort things out in your brain and gives you time to just basically be alone for a little while…
i’m 22, by the way, and i lived in the US [with the exception of 4 months spent in ireland when i was 8] for 21 of those years…
And u dont think the LOVE word bothered her and maybe she believes that I am way In LOVE with her and she just want to slow things down or does maybe not even want to continue?
maybe she did want to slow stuff down…you need to ask her…and have that talk because it seems that the two of you have different ideas about the extent of the relationship…
Contact her today? If she does not call back do I keep calling? Im flustered with this because I absolutely do not want to screw this up. It means everything to me right now!
Will I seem needy to her if i keep trying to contact her?
not if you do something romantic like showing up with hand picked flowers…if you keep calling then you will…
I already sent her flowers on the day after she said she needs to be alone. That was 5 days ago. She said buying her flowers would not change her time alone. Sorta rude I thouht but maybe thats a normal woman reaction at that point?
And u truely believe that 5 days is enough alone time?
that depends entirely on her…give her a couple more days before showing up with flowers and call her no more than 2 times per day until then…
u seem pretty sure on all this? Are u confident with your answers seriously? What about the LOVE word worrying or bothered her a bit?
i am confident in my answers…i’m pretty good with relationship advice because i can see things from many different angles and i know a lot about relationships from some classes that i took…
she may have felt it was a little bit too soon for the word love to be thrown around…has she perhaps had relationship problems in the past? that’s a good indicator that she may be afraid to get hurt and wants to make certain that she won’t…
now u are hiting some familiar points. So u say call her tommorow with a short message and a sorry. And if she does not call back go over there the next day? Hope she does not think im being too pushy???

i fully agree with rosemary. you need to grow up. i was actually in an extremely similar relationship, and his nagging after i had begged for alone time was exactly what did it in. i don’t know where you heard that when women say they need alone time that means its over, because that isn’t true at all. you need to stop buying into the “all women are the same” bull. there is no such thing as a “normal woman reaction.” just give her some space and grow up. i’m not saying that will magically fix the situation, but at this point thats all you can do.
& the idea about the flowers and then grabbing a coffee is great. just try not to be too needy with it. if she talks about it and says that she still needs some time, a responce along the lines of “take as long as you need. i’m sorry that i caused all this, and i’m here if you need to talk about anything.” would be exponentially better than a “no! why more time? i need you back!! are we over? just tell me if we are!” sort of reply.
best of luck.
thank you, one more thing is should i try calling her today and if so do i tell her again i am truly sorry or do i leave her be for a few more days? then what should i say to her?
hm. if you haven’t talked to her in the last few days then i’d say its alright to call, but if you talked to her yesterday, even if it was a text, i’d hold off. but thats just me.
tell her you’re really, truly sorry and that you understand she needs some time alone but that you’re here if theres anything she needs to talk about.
my text actually said exectly what u just told me to tell her… So u think i should hold off for sure then?
i think it would be alright to call her then. do you plan on asking her out for coffee still? if you do, make sure you make it clear that its just to talk about things and she doesn’t have to if she still feels she needs some time alone.
no coffee needed. If she will talk to me even over the phone, I can handle it from there. thank you very much i will try to call her today. If she does not answer i will leave a brief message. If she does not call back today do i try again tommorow or wait?
yeah, if she still doesn’t pick up of call you back then i’d give it another day. by not picking up/returning a call, thats her way of saying she needs more time. so yeah, wait another day if she doesn’t call back.

Yet she has not asked for her things back maybe she does not care about them. Man am i confused, cause we were really close maybe to close to quick but she asked for all the affection. On top of that we always told each other i like u A LOT. and the day after she said i need time when i tried to get answers from her i knew cause the pain that i was falling in love and i tiold her that. Right or wrong i told her the truth and i had the feeling that WORD LOVE might have worried her a bit. I told her you asked for all the affection aginst my wishes, she asked for all my time cause she wanted me sleeping with her, etc and then i goin to act a little weird about the word love?? I told her love to me means caring deeply but must mean somethin else to her beyond her telling me she likes me a lot all the time, etc. So again i asked her to be done with me if this time alone means that and she still said no no!! She said damit what don’t u understand about alone time. So after all that it is the 3-4th day apart, seems like eternity. I don’t want to lose her and feel that her not repling after 3 days of alone time means the worse or maybe thats not enough time for her so her not replying means need more time. I really need ur help here big time!!!!!!! Please be honest and read my little story fully. This means a lot to me
I haven’t read all of the replies yet, so I’m sorry if I repeat what someone has said.
Like the other users have said, you do need to make sure that you act maturely if she comes back. You are in your early 30s and should be mature by now. I’m pretty sure you know this now though. If she is going through the time of the month, you just need to have a bit of patience. I guess us guys can just listen to what they say and try not to cause more arguments.
There is a chance that she may be really annoyed at you, that she is thinking of the worst. However there is a chance that she may not be. All you can do now is just concentrate on your own life and work at it maturely. Try and contact her every so often but NOT TOO OFTEN. You still need to give her some room. Send her a text or give her a ring about every 5 days or so. Hopefully, if she has enough time to herself and sees that you are starting to take a mature outlook to life, she may come back to you.

Whats my girlfriend mean? Please give me some more opinions!! I have been with my girlfriend for 5 months, we are both in our early 30’s. I have a 6 year old she has a 3, 6 and 9 year old. We started out slow, I took everything in small steps so that I would not fall in to deep. She began after 4 months to tell me she wants more affection like kisses before bed time, when i leave to the store, etc. I did that for her and many other things. She did however repeatedly ask me to stop doing stupid little things like acting like a kid in public(yelling out mommy or just screwing around), she always said please can’t u just be normal(like dont out of the blue say things like “u want me” sex terms)and i continued to do these stupid things here and there and knit pick her when it was that time of the month, not purposely i just thought she knew i was joking. She even in time begged me not to do that crap cause she fears she will get REALLY angry. And i just did not listen to it even when she was begging me to not do it anymore even if it was once a week. I was falling in love with her by now, taking her for granted that she really liked me cause she said that often and was always so nice to me. We after 3 months were always together ecept for when at work she got me to start staying at her house when she was not at mine, sex was great, we did everything together. But 4 days ago she woke me up in the morning, after already being frustrated from the past weekend because i acted dumb at the store, i got up and walked to her and said, they make pills for that. Cause i knew she just started that time of the month and she is very very testy when that comes. I dont know why i did that, guess i’m an ***. Problem is with all her little needs that i gave into i feel in love and did not stop doing the stupid little things that drove her to the limit. I took her to work, she gave me a quick kiss, told her we would take the kids to amusement park on the weekend and 4 hours later she sends a text that she wants to do the amusement park some other time and right now needs some alone time. My heart dropped and the life was ripped out of me, i’m an idiot because she begged me over months to stop with the stupid comments and i did not and drove her to this point. Never thought it would actually happen, we were so close!!. I text her the next day looking for answers to understand, tols her to not drag me around and that if this ment she is done with me to just say it. she said i never said anything about being done and i said why time alone then she said i like alone time sometimes and time alone with my kids etc, and told me she had begged me to stop and i did not. Out of heatache i asked a few more questions trying to get her to let me come talk to her and she did not budge, said what dont u understand about i just need some time alone. Again i said so u are done the right with me. She still very angrily at this point said no i am not just need alone time. i sent flowers she said buying me things wont change this right now, i told her how much i care and to please talk to me, totally being a little kid about it which i never do but she had got me to fall for her. she still even at boiling point said i like being with you but i need some alone time. I then stopped all communication. We have clothes and other things at each others houses, she has not requested any of that after 5 days now. so i sent one little text saying i was here to talk when she was ready and if she needed anything im here for her i said i miss her and understand what ive done. one day later she has still not responded. TIME how long is that? What do i do? What should i say. I don’t want to loose her, she is a great woman!! I begged her to tell me she was done with me and she would not do it. But yet now that she has not said anything after 3 days of no communication, i am lost. Maybe i am so scared that i need an answer.

I really need ur help here big time!!!!!!! Please be honest and read my little story fully. This means a lot to me.
If it is her time of month just give her a few days to cool off and then take her out to dinner. Will you be able to stop being so silly. I think she needs a man not another child.
First of all that is not a little story. I just had tea, toast, eggs, and lost 20 min. of my life. I read it all from beginning to end:)
First of all I think what you have lost here is YOURSELF. What do you do with YOUR child and YOUR time alone? Ground rules, have them, live them, don’t break them. You are obsessing over a woman that you enjoy, by obsessing I mean making her your whole life, that is not healthy for you, your child, and too much pressure on anyone (this woman). No one wants to be anyone’s everything, at least not for long, it is unreasonable, irrational and in the long run impossible. Be patient (at 30 years of age I would say you are behaving emotionally impatient) allow her as much time as she needs to evaluate whether you are smothering her or not, or whether you have the temperment of someone she wants to spend more time with. My personal advice: Don’t live with a woman you would not marry on that same day, and remember, marriage is a two way street, if she would not marry you on that same day, you both are not ready.
