WHAT IT MEANS WHEN HE SAYS HE WANTS SPACE ...

When a guy puts the brakes on, it can mean a few different things ...

It's not the end of the world (or relationship), but it does mean something is probably freaking him out -- which might mean he's considering taking things to the next level!

We can't read his mind anymore than you can, but here are five common things he might be thinking when he says, "I need some space."

1. He's scared. Maybe he's scared because he's in love, or because relationships scare him, or because he's not ready to be married ... the only thing certain is that he's frightened of something.

2. Yes, he may want to break up. It's the harsh truth, but asking for more space might just be a break-up with training wheels.

3. He wants to make sure he's in control. Sometimes men freak when they're not in control, so he might just need to hit the brakes to re-assert that he's in charge of his own life.

4. He's trying to be honest. Yes, while it might be selfish, and hurt you, and actually be kind of evil to ask for space -- it's also kind of ... noble. He's just telling you his truth -- he needs some time and he's asking for it. Think of it this way -- rather than giving himself an ultimatum (and dumping you), he's pausing to figure out he wants or needs.

5. What it may not mean is that this is the end. Space is not an outright break-up, so while it could be a training run, there could also be things holding him back -- which is why he asked for space, not for you to vanish.

THINGS YOUR WIFE OR GIRLFRIEND HATES ABOUT YOU

Relationships are rough. They pretty much drift in between boredom and annoyance -- with some fun mixed in.

It doesn't take much to be annoyed by your wife or girlfriend and, believe it or not, it doesn't take much to ANNOY HER.

Here are some things your wife or girlfriend hates about you:

1. You don't pick up after yourself -- Being tidy, at least a little bit, is vital to keep the peace. When things get out of control, they get gross -- and women melt down.

2. You stop trying -- Women are acutely aware of when guys stop trying to impress them. Marriage means you don't have to win her over anymore -- and this drives women bonkers.

3. You turn down sex -- On those rare occasions that your wife or girlfriend wants sex and you're the one who doesn't, she is confused and irritated.

4. You ask her out via text -- Asking a woman out via text is a big turn-off. They'd much prefer you call.
