Thank you for reading! I appreciate your honesty and yes, space is super important. I process things mentally and through writing before I announce them to anyone, it is super important to me. I’ve already communicated this with my spouse, and because of the communication, there is an understanding. Now, if someone cannot respect how YOU process things, then it is best to let them go. You have to have peace of mind and they have to respect who you are. Sometimes us women we are bleeding hearts and want to help solve issues and nurture- and that is ok. So just let the woman know, “Hey I am processing and will get back with you.” My only problem would be, how long is this process. How long will a woman have to wait before understanding what her mate is going through?
