When a person is involved in a relationship for the first time, he or she feels so wonderful. Unfortunately, this wonderful feeling doesn't last forever. Falling in love is effortless. Staying in love is another matter altogether. No matter how wonderful a relationship is, a break up is possible.

Perhaps you have just broken up with your boyfriend. And the reason for the break up is because he says he wants more space. In this kind of situation, what should you do? How should you handle the situation?

Well, there are many reasons why a man suddenly says he want more space. Don't automatically assume that you have done something wrong. It may have nothing to do with you and it is due to factors that are entirely out of your control.

For example, your boyfriend may feel insecure, has family problems or even an irrational fear of commitment. Here are some tips you can consider to get your boyfriend back if he wants more space.

1) If your boyfriend wants more space because of family problems, be understanding. Show him that you support him and will help him in any way within your abilities. Give him the space if he needs it.

2) If it is due to a fear of commitment or some other reasons, then you need to let him sort out the issues himself. In the mean time, you can play hard to get but don't over do it. Just a bit will do. The idea here is to make him realize that breaking up with you is his loss and not yours.

3) Talk about the issues. Nothing beats communication. Try and understand his point of view and try to let him understand your point of view. Remember, communication is an important ingredient for a long and lasting relationship.
