How do i give my boyfriend the space he needs?

This is where you should start. Before you were with him what did you do as a hobby or to have fun? Figure this out so that you can yze what you changed. Then I suggest you ask yourself if you didnt have a man what would you be doing with yourself right now. I personally think that if you take time to exercise, so that you feel good about yourslef and get healthier, you might actually not think about him too much. Try making stuff that you would regularly buy. I try to make doughnuts, cakes , meals and a bunch of other things. when I do it I tell myboyfriend to try them and give me his opinion.He likes sweets, I like creating. Its good to have time to yourself to think and to work out issues you have with yourself. Its good you love your man, all you need to do is be comfortable sometimes alone so that in turn you give him a chance to want to be attached to you. And your boyfriend will appreciate it in the end. If you find yourself wanting to go out with him when he wants to go play sports or whatever the case may be, and he asks you if you want to come, every now and then try and tell him no thanks, next time, so that he feels as though he has a little freedom and your trust to do things on his own. He'll appreciate it and you will be training yourself to become less attatched and in turn feel better about yourself too. I hope this helps at least a little, please try some of this or put your own twist on it but remember,tha distance makes the heart grow fonder. You dont have to be miles away from each other for months but a little distance and time apart will benefit you. you will have a happier relationship. God Bless you and good luck.
