Maybe your boyfriend doesn't know what to think or how to feel when you get into the times when you need alone time. Maybe he is thinking he's done something wrong and he's trying to be playful to get you into a better mood. Maybe HE can't handle alone time and does these things so he's not alone.....fighting with you at least keeps you both talking (or yelling, whichever the case may be). Does that make any sense at all??

From my experience with someone who wasn't comfortable with his own aloneness, when I needed space and he hounded me, it was because he couldn't handle it in someway. When I finally realized this was his issue, we worked on things he could do when I needed my space so that neither one of us felt guilty or fought about it anymore. It took some time, but he finally came to enjoy some separation between us (I don't like being smothered with constant attention, good or bad LOL).

Just some thoughts for you.
