Article in English: Make sure you stay on topic and do not get distracted. Use “I” statements to focus on what you need and want. “I” statements show that you’re accepting responsibility for your decision. This will also help your boyfriend to feel less attacked or blamed. Some examples of “I” statements are:  ”I am unhappy.” ”I am feeling a lot of pressure.” ”I don’t have enough time to pursue my hobbies.” Figure out how much contact you will have with each other, including talking, texting, and seeing each other in person.  Contact may occur in some form once every a few days, once every other week, or once a month. Scheduling a specific time for contact may help add stability. Perhaps your mother has doctor's appointment in the morning, so afternoons would be better or maybe you volunteer regularly on the weekends and weekdays would work best. It’s important to let your boyfriend know how long he should expect to give you your space. This can be as specific as a week or a month. It is important to manage his expectations. After this initial period has elapsed, the time needed for more space can be evaluated by both parties. An indefinite period of time may not be the best option as it is ambiguous and leaves the other person feeling powerless.
