How to RESPOND When An Avoidant Asks For Space

Your avoidant ex asked for space and you gave them the space they asked for, but they keep texting you? Do you respect their request for space and not respond, or do you respond and keep the lines of communication open?

It depends on what your ex meant by “space”.

Most of the time when someone asks for “space”, they are not necessarily asking you not to contact them or saying they want you out of their life. Sometimes space means they want you to STOP whatever it is that they want you to stop doing.
