I heard that Aqua usually love taking space in relationships and so do I.However, the Aqua I am dating with seems to want to seeing me every day for 2 months now.My question is that what is the main reason for an Aqua to need the space in a relationship? Or is it a process " love you , love you ( for quite a period),now I need some space,love you,love you, now I need to go away...." sort of thing? Or they need space because they see something that is undesirable in their partner and need time to analyse?

if we are genuinely intrigued by you we tend to want to know you more and see you often early on.
as we get to know you we understand you more and the curiosity dies down keep us intrigued and you can keep us period.
we do need to recharge are sanity tank here and there with personal space just something you have to accept with us just like we have to accept that Geminis will never shut up. lol

Normally when I need time away from my partner it's b/c all of the emotions that I usually keep bottled up are screaming to come out & when I know that I can no longer keep them in, I distance myself for a little while (even if it's just for 1 day) so that I can take out some "ME" time in order to get myself together. I see taking my "space" as a favor to my partner b/c in my eyes I'd rather not drag them through all of my problems, especially the ones that have nothing to do with the relationship.

And plus, there are 2 types of Aquas.
1. If an Aqua is experiencing a rocky relationship they might take an "emotional break" & distance themselves for a while b/c they feel that if they continue to stay, they might let their emotions overpower them; thus they might end up making the wrong decision or pushing someone away when all they really needed was space. These types of Aquas feel that taking a step away from the relationship is better for both people on both ends b/c it limits the drama & all the running-wild emotions from getting out of hand. They might need some time to pull back b/c they feel that if they stay their judgment might be clowded with sweet words, naiveness or being "blinded" by the other person if they stay. They feel that the best way to get their emotions back on track & to 100% make sure that no one else swayed their decisions or their feelings about something, is to completely take a step back from the people who could potentially sway their judgment or rationale; and this person is more than likely their partner.

2. And then there's the Aquas like me who might purposely stay (instead of withdrawing) b/c they feel that if they withdrawl, they might come back to an empty house or an empty relationship. Even though Aquas don't purposely take their "space" to offend or piss others off (trust me, we have BETTEr & more creative ways to accomplish that) & even though Aquas know that it might be BEST for them to withdrawl, there's always still that fear that the other person will take the withdrawl the wrong way & b/c this type of Aqua fear losing something they love (especially over something small or petty), we'd rather just stay in the situation to please the other person; that way we know for sure that they can't blame us for why the relationship went sour or make us feel inferior or that we're not satisfying them b/c we distanced ourselves. These types of Aquas generally only distance themselves from their partners b/c of reas

I'll drink to that. If I am feeling "overwhelmed" by drama, emotions, friends, my parnter or just life in general, I will "disappear" for a while. Most of the time I will not say anything because I do not want to be rude and snap. Just because I am feeling down and out, I do not want to take it out on anyone else and bring them down too. I realize I could just tell them in a polite way to leave me be, but I feel that if they really knew me, they would be able to tell.....usually by my lack of detail in my responses (even here). Im a pretty energetic person and it takes a lot to drain me, but when I am just let me be so I can recharge my battery and I'll be back to 110% again.

On the same hand, I also see a bit of #2 in me as well. BUT, I know that if I DO leave and they are not there when I return, they were never a TRUE friend/partner in the first place, even if I try to explain the reasons WHY I left. I find that to be exhausting as well.
