If a man needs space give him space.

When a man is pulling away, you might begin to fear losing him. You therefore try to do your best to rescue the relationship.

While trying to prevent a break up, you can try to reach out, to call a lot, to text and to beg him to see you.

Note that the very actions applied while trying to avoid abandonment are what might consequently lead to abandonment..

You need to invest in yourself more, rather than focus on someone else more. People's behaviour provide feedback for you to reflect on your own life.

If you are an anxious person, your anxiety gives you an opportunity to identify that you might be about to self-sabotage. Whether you are right in thinking he is leaving or not, his behaviour is his choice. Your focus is what you decide to do when you get clarity from his behaviour.

Constant anxiety is also a sign that you are not in the right relationship, for one reason or the other.

1. The person is not the right one for you, because you are triggered constantly in his absence or presence or both.

2. If no healing has taken place, you might see everything as danger. You might interpret any subtle action by a partner as a threat to break up.

Focusing on yourself is the priority focus, when you start feeling anxious when a man detaches.

Go inwards, and tell yourself that you are alive.

You are not in danger.

All is well.

Hug yourself.

Reach out to people who will listen to you.

Note that there is only so much pressure people can take.

Stop trying too hard.

He knows where you are.

If you call and he answers you, give him space.

If he does not answer, he has seen your details.

So, allow him to choose his action.

When a partner is distant, the one important helpful tip is to focus on yourself.

Let him come to you when he is done with his situation.

This is why you need to invest in other relationships and communities.

Given space, he does not feel as if his freedom is at risk, and he cannot breathe without your panic.

When he is actively coming towards you, you have an opportunity to express how unsafe you feel when he is distant.

Without demanding.

Without accusations.

Without blame.

If he does not come back, that is OK too. You do not need to force anyone to love you. Grieve, and move on.
