If you were not home very much, then it would take some getting use to that. Giving her space is more about just letting her be and you keep involved in something without her. But do not ask her if she needs more space b/c you would be pushing and it would probably get you a R talk that you wouldn't want.

I still believe you should be GAL in order to show that you are not dependent upon her for your total happiness. Look at it this way, if you started staying home all the time "after" you discovered she wanted out....then in her eyes it makes you look afraid. Afraid to let her out of your sight, and that is likely to be a turn-off to her.

You say it is your 180, so if it is working....then fine,but see it as it really is...and not what you "want" it to be.

It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
