The question is, can this be overdone? Is it possible to give too much "space?"

The reason I ask is because one of her core complaints that led to our breakdown was, "You don't seem to want to talk to me" or "Our conversations are too superficial." Wondering if the current state of affairs might just look like more of the same.

I have this exact same question! Since discovering this site and making my first post a week ago, I'm amazed at how similar my experience is to many others on here. I don't yet know how your situation turned out but I wish the best for you.
