Is it wrong or bad for me to want space?

My relationship and my boyfriend is great. Amazing. He really is the love of my life and we have both made plans for the future. And just have so much fun together.

However we are both 18, been together for a year and a half. Extremely faithful and good.

But we’re getting into the habit of little arguments all the time. And I know it’s normal and healthy for a bit of conflict in a relationship but I don’t want all these little arguments to pile up and cause us to break up because it’s over the same 2 issues that will eventually be solved with time but create conflict now. But we argue about 3 times a week.

Is it wrong to ask for time and space without breaking up? Will it help persevere our relationship or will it draw us farther apart?

I just need advice because I don’t want to lose this.
