What does a person mean when he says "I need some space".

It is often used in a relationship where one of the people would like to have some more time apart from the other person maybe to think or maybe to try different things alone or with other people.
e.g. A girl says to her boyfriend, " Stop coming over to my house every night, I need some space." (= We are spending too much time together and I want my OWN life back again)
