So me and my boyfriend who me I have a baby with have had a really bad year so far. And we've been together for a year. We used to argue and it wasnt as bad but this year it got worse and even physical. I'm aware that from my part it has to do that I dont talk at all. I keep everything to my self. And from what he's told me he said that he know he messed up on not being able to control his anger. We came with the conclusion that we need space for him to find him self again and to be able to control his emotions and for me the same.

But in honesty I have never done that with any relationship. I dont know what giving each other space as partners means...I know I might sound like an idiot for not knowing but if someone could explain it to me.
