Who needs space in relationships?

[DrLeftover]

The cliché is that men are the ones who need their space, but Match.com’s annual Singles in America study finds that more women than ever are seeking out their own “me time” in relationships — so said a staggering 77% of approximately 2,000 female respondents across all age ranges (21-65+). In addition to wanting more quality time to spend alone, we also want more nights out with our (girl) friends and to take separate vacations.

What’s driving the trend? “This is generally a natural progression of the Woman’s Movement,” suggests Lee Bowers, a Villanova, PA-based psychologist and author of Divorce Proof Your Marriage Before You Say “I Do”. “Since World War II, women have been increasing their numbers in the workforce. This brings more economic and social autonomy. We want to be equals in the decision making, and we want to make the decisions about our own lives — including how we spend our time.”

I always need my own space, I can't be with someone who doesn't give me space it drives me insane.

The whole space thing might be hard to maintain if you lived with your partner but if you don't, you will have alone time, its inevitable.

I think, every one need to space in relationship becasue this space is necessary for human life to become success. If this space has increase more then it would be damage for life. So, it wold be very low.
