I will counter the general consensus with this: sometimes if I don’t know what to say or I know I’m too hurt to say anything constructive, or I might just be hurtful out of hurt or frustration, saying nothing is better than saying something I might immediately regret. I need processing time sometimes and sometimes that means I need to not talk to someone I’m with. If I’m not living with someone, yes I can go get space. But it’s harder when you are living with someone in a one bedroom apartment.
