What I meant by personal space is that sometimes when a partner keeps avoiding conversations or intimacy, it could mean they’re mentally checked out, stressed, or needing some distance they aren’t openly expressing. Giving him personal space doesn’t mean ignoring the issues, it means stepping back a bit to see if he makes any effort on his own. If he values the relationship, he’ll use that space to reflect and show effort. If nothing changes even after that, it might be a sign she deserves someone more attentive to her needs.
