In my experience when someone you are in a relationship with tells you they need some time alone, to themselves, some space...whatever... that isn't a good thing.

In my experience when someone has been treating you in one way and then you start feeling that shift in behavior... that isn't a good thing.

In my experience people who are unhappy with themselves, lack self confidence...whatever... hurt the ones they love the most. Rather intentional or not. 

In my experience no amount of loving someone is enough on its own.

In my experience actions speak louder than words, but silence is a killer.
