THAT is "space" for her. THAT is "independence" for her. I'm a good man and she sees it. Let's roll the dice and see how this all plays out. I cannot let the fear of self-preservation of what is an unhealthy derivation of self-value get in the way of what she is asking me for. True respect = true compliance with her stated decisions.
I see what you are saying there...
Maybe a fear of success ???
Maybe you are afraid that you are going to move too far forward, and she won't be able to catch up ???
I know that sounds strange, just try it on and see how it fits....
