Basically, she started dating me two months after a bad breakup with a longtime boyfriend and another emotional incident with a friend. She thought she had given herself enough time, but months later she realizes that she has not. She says she feels like there is something missing inside of her right now, like she is empty emotionally, and needs to resolve that on her own before being ready for a healthy relationship, and that it would not be fair for either one of us to continue at this time.
So I asked her if she was breaking up with me, and she never really used those words, but she says she can't handle a relationship and needs to be alone. She also said that she didn't want to be the one to decide how much we should communicate, because she is the one who made this decision, so that decision should be mine. I said I still wanted to talk to her and see her from time to time, she said she would love that.
So we left it at that. I'm probably going to call her in a couple of days. I guess my question is: how exactly should I handle things? I want to give her enough space to work things out, but she also said she did want to see me still. I guess I'm not sure how much I should try to contact her. Any ideas?
Also, has anyone else (guys or girls) had a similar situation? If you gave the guy/girl space, did he/she end up coming back to you? I'm not too optimistic here, but I really am crazy about her and would love for things to eventually work out.
