Back in my pre-TRP BP beta loser days, I'd sometimes get the dreaded "I need more space", "I need to focus on myself", etc blabla.

Post-TRP this hasn't happened that much anymore, but I still wonder what a good reaction would be on the spot, like right after she says it. If I disagree then I'd seem needy, and if I agree then I'd lose frame.

I'm thinking of just making a joke, something like "Oh, you mean you're getting fat so you need more space?".

What would be some other good responses?
