I dun give him space, I just give him blanket n pillow to sleep in the living room!
lol! that's what I do as well.
But honestly, I am not a big fan of giving space, I just think it prolongs the fight/argument unnecessarily and that just drags on!
I believe in communicating once we both have calmed down. Unfortunately, I expect it to happen as soon as we stop arguing! :-\
