How can I fight my urges to contact someone that needed a space?

So you and your partner are on a break, it is important for you to take some time and reflect on the reasoning behind this break and what the break means for the both of you. Your partner has asked for space, which means they have asked for certain boundaries of hers to be respected and she is hoping that you will be able to respect these boundaries and give them some time to take a step back and reflect on their own thoughts and feelings. 

It may be helpful to use this time to reflect on your own thoughts and feelings towards the relationship. Both the ups and the downs. A break in a relationship usually happens when one or both parties are unsure of how to continue moving forward with the relationship. This does not always mean that they want to end the relationship but that they need some time to decide how they would like to go forward with the relationship. 

If your partner has asked for space it is important that you are able to respect their boundaries and give them the space that she has asked for. As people we like our boundaries to be respected and, as you would like someone to respect your boundaries if you asked them to, it is now time for you to respect theirs. 

I understand you are having a hard time giving them their space and that this is something you seem to be struggling with. Have you reflected on these struggles, thinking about the reasons why you are struggling so much with the space. Aside from missing the person, is there something more that is causing you to worry about not being able to speak to them. How are you finding the break so far?  Do you feel you have been able to reflect on your own feelings towards the break without focusing on the feelings of your partner? 

It is always hard to give someone you love space as it becomes our normal to talk to them all the time and spend our time thinking of them. We often get news and want to tell our partner, so times like this can be extremely hard. You are doing so well by giving them the space they have asked for. It is hard to reach out and ask others for help so it is an amazing step that you have managed to do this.
