Emotional oversaturation

Relations require investments - time, attention, mental strength. And if one of the partners is especially emotional, constantly shares experiences, needs support, the other may feel exhausted.
It seems that you are constantly “on duty”: you listen, comfort, adjust. And at some point the internal resource ends. An emotional overload begins, which we do not always realize. I just want silence, loneliness and ... distances.

Loss of personal space

One of the reasons for overload is the disappearance of borders. When the relationship becomes too close, and there is no place for “yourself”, irritation begins to accumulate.
If every evening is dedicated to joint affairs, every day off is only together, and all the conversations rotate around “us”, a person can feel that he is losing his own life.
And then even a loved one begins to be associated with fatigue. Thoughts about the escape are not about hatred or gap, but about thirsty to regain space and freedom.

Unequal rhythm

It happens that partners develop at different speeds. One moves forward, wants a new one, makes plans, and the other is stuck in the routine. Or vice versa: one is in a hurry, requires seriousness, and the second is not ready.
This imbalance causes internal stress. One feels pressure, the other is disappointed. And again there is a feeling: “I'm tired. I am overloaded. I don't pull it all. "

What to do when you want to escape?

The first is to admit your condition. Forced suppression of fatigue leads only to the accumulation of aggression and sharp acts. It is better to honestly talk with a partner about your feelings - not with reproaches, but with openness.
Sometimes it is enough to take a pause: for a day, for the weekend, for a week - to recover and hear yourself.
It is important to remember that the desire to pull away is not always a signal to the gap. More often - this is a way to return the balance if it was broken.

When running is not a solution

If you want to run away all the time, this is a bell. Perhaps the relationship is not built as you need. Maybe they have no support, trust, understanding.
But sometimes the reason is inside us: we do not know how to say no, we are afraid to show weakness, we take too much. Then you should not run away, but learn to build healthy boundaries and share responsibility.

The desire to escape is a cry of the inner “I”, which is tired, lost freedom or overheated from other people's expectations. This is not a tragedy, but an important signal.
Sometimes you only need a little silence, space and honest dialogue, so that you again want not to run away, but to be near.
