Need Space

He keeps going from we're together, to we're friends. He says he wants to get his money together and explore life more before we settle into a relationship. I am not upset at that at all. But I am also over giving him continuous access to me. We are in a situationship, and tbh, I am not completely sold on him either. But I do like him as a friend and occasional lover. But I want to set boundaries. Since we are not together technically, even though sleep together, spend the night at each other's place, and go on dates regularly, I want to distance myself. I want to have a week to myself where I don't contact him at all. My question is do I have to tell him? I'd rather just do it. I don't feel like explaining myself, and quite frankly, I don't feel like I owe him an explanation. Especially considering the context of our relationship. What do you guys think? I just want to hang out with family/friends. And I have other things to focus on. I think withdrawing from this relationship is the best for me. It will help me keep firm boundaries in a relationship that has too much fluidity for my tastes.

I feel that the most refreshing thing you can do for yourself AND your lover........ is to be honest and upfront. Communication is the key to happiness.

If you want a week to yourself...then tell him you want a week. Nothing causes drama as much as unexplained actions (like ghosting). If you need a week.... take a week. But make a date for after "your week" so he doesn't develop feelings of rejection.

If you like him as a friend and an occasional squeeze...then tell him that is what you want. If your feelings change...then let him know. (But please play safe.... surprises create a boatload of unwanted drama).

As I have often told my F friends..... No guy ever took Mindreading 101 in college. TBH.. We are kind of lacking in that skillset.... you know.... like cavemen.

That is what I think.
@Saucylover Thanks for the "best comment" tag....

You need to move on, because I’ve seen this before. Don’t change and value your life choices you’re soon to trapped if you don’t get out of the relationship.
Let him do him and find himself without you my friend.

I think so too. And you don't owe him an explanation. Most likely it will just escalate to a fight anyway

Sounds a lot in the first two sentences that he's probably been seeing someone on the side. The noncommittal nature of the situationship means just that; you can both see others. Just move on and find someone else.

He’s gas lighting you don’t give em power like that over you you’re young and beautiful and smart and someone amazing will come your way. I promise you that don’t let him take that from you.

Next time he goes to , were just friends, leave it at that.
Then it was his decision and you won't have to worry about explaining anything.

It’s harder to set boundaries if you start with a relationship with few or no boundaries in the first place
