Is space good in a relationship?

S

My bf broke up with me in the beginning of the year. We got back together a month & a half later. He has a group of coworkers who he hangs out with here & there. They know about me, but I’ve never met them. Two weeks ago, he went out & we got into an argument bc he didn’t tell me he ended up somewhere completely different. At first he was done. Then asked for space. I’ve been seeing him here & there & he’s even asked me for help with his daughter & dog. A few days ago, we cooked together & I spent the night. It was nice to laugh again with him. The next day, I left. He told me he was going over to his friends house late at night. I went to bed & I would text him here & there. I asked him at one point if he was still there & he got upset. Tbh I was half asleep.

Today he asked for space. Like I said, he asked for it a few weeks ago when we got into the argument but it didn’t happen. I asked him why space, & he said to process his emotions. He said if I can’t do that, then he’s going to block me & that’ll be the end of this. I asked how long he needs space, like a few days or a few weeks, but he said he doesn’t know. I thanked him for taking the time to actually process his emotions instead of ending it completely.

I understand I was annoying him when he was out with his friends, & that it wasn’t the first time. But can space be a good thing?
