He Asked For Space

[Beelady]

I am beating this subject - I know :( Just going crazy here.

If a guy has trouble with trust, feeling safe and seeing good in people. Is disabled 100% PTSD veteran. Then gives 100% of himself and gets hurt. Says he needs space to think. How much space should be given? 1 week without calling or stopping by? More or less? I get its an individual thing however I need something anything to give some sort of relief to this. He said I broke his trust, and I did. I believe we can work this out though. He said he may never forgive me and I just cant understand that.

what would you do? I have to drive by his home today and want to check on him. Would that just make things worse?

How much space should be given?

The one time in a relationship I asked for space, what I meant was 'until I'm ready'. My partner at the time still wanted to check in once a week That was not what I needed.

I think he decides when he's had enough of space.

Thank you Joey. I had thought of checking on him in one week - so it sounds like I should not unless I hear from him. Thank you.

Tim does not go out in public unless he has to. (veteran ptsd) and I wondered about dropping off things he likes to eat - that he cannot get on amazon - next week if I don't hear from him. If I dont try to see him - I just leave it, do you think that would be helpful or would it put him in a worse place emotionally?

I'm not him - but if I were, I would find such a gift to be stressful and invasive.

But, like I said - I'm not him.

One more question if you dont mind, what do you think or have experienced for time to reflect on being hurt?
