need a day without boyfriend


Question Posted Friday June 22 2007, 12:54 pm

My boyfriend and i have been seeing each other almost every day, and i still really really like him, i just need a day without him. It's come to the point where even the little things he does that wouldn't/shouldn't bother me normally and are just little pet peeves are having me question our relationship, even though i know i'm being stupid and blowing this out of proportion. The only problem is that he sent me this really long email last night about how he misses me already even though it's only been like an hour since he saw me and how much he wants to see me today, etc, etc. I don't want to lie to him about why i can't see him today, but i would really like to let him down easily. any suggestions?

you dont have to lie to him you can just tell him that your not in the mood for hanging out and you just want to nap or rest or something! if he doesnt take it well then just be straight forward with him and tell him that you need some time to yourself.

hope i helped! xoxo

just be honest with him. tell him its nothing personal but you really just need a day to spend with your girls and catch up on some stuff. tell him that you love the fact that you spend so much time together, but you really dont want your girlfriends to think that your bowing them off and you want to keep their friendship as well. then make plans with him to do something the next day, or the day after that. if hes a good boyfriend, he will understand. you could also maybe suggest that he take the day to spend time with his guy friends

Well, I know you don't want to lie, but sometimes a "little white lie" is the best way to avoid hurting someone. If he is that dependant and attached to you, implying that you don't want to see him (even if you put it really nicely) might really crush him. So don't feel bad about making up an excuse now and then. Or, if you really feel bad about fibbing to him, start making some plans with your girlfriends or something, so you'll be able to tell the truth. And just tell him, "Oh, I'm really sorry, I have to do blah blah blah today! I wish I didn't have to! I'm really gonna miss you!"

well chances are that you haven't been spending much time with your friends lately...just get a bunch of your girlfriends together and say "I haven't seen much of my friends lately so we planned a girls day for just us to hang out,you probably haven't spent much time with your friends either...why don't you do the same and hang out with your friends." be nice about it and I'm sure he'll give you the space you want...just tell him that you're gonna talk to him tomorrow and have a fun day with the girls while he has a fun day with the guys

Tell him you need a girl's day. If you've been spending every waking second with your boyfriend, you probably haven't spent much time with your friends. Tell him you want to spend a day just hanging out with your friends and he should do the same without talking to each other twenty times and you'll talk to him tomorrow.
