I am with the older guy in 2 years relationship. We live together since the beginning but lately he started to pull away. He goes through a lot of stress because he lost all his money and we were supposed to buy a house in Spain. We started to fight a lot because i could see he is a bit distant and he apparently needed to be alone wheras i wanted to stay emotionally connected and intimate. I was getting angry with him being depressed and pulling away. I think i was a bit too clingy and needy and when he started to withdraw i wanted to fix problem by talking to him instead we end up fighting everytime. So i started to pack and cry and he said he just need space that i could go for a while to my parents or something. I was making a lot of drama saying whats the point of all this, i ask him to choose between me and game and he said i use blackmail on him and that he has right to do what he wants. In the end when he saw i dont stop packing he finally get out of the bed angry and said fine i will take you to the train station. At that point i realized i dont want to loose him i was just angry. He said that he wants to be with me, have home and kids but he needs to have some space for now because we are hurting each other fighting most of the time. I wanted to leave some of my things but he said to take all of them because he doesnt know if he will be here or if we move to Spain and its better i keep clothes at my parents to not have too much luggage. I dont know what to think about that...i was asking him if he want to just break up and use space as easy way out but he reassured me is not the case and that he loves me. He said we need to think through what we do wrong, he said also is not fair to me because he is in a very bad state now and he needs to figure out things on his own and he doesnt want to put his frustrations on me neither want me to put mine on him. Hence he claims some time apart will be good for us. I am very devasted because i truly love him and i dont know what to think about all this. If that is really just space then how long should i wait?
