Break Up & Divorce

My girlfriend wants a one-week break, but I feel like she’s slowly letting me go, opinion?

I (25M) have been with my girlfriend (21F) for two years. The past few months have been tough — I’ve had money stress, working six days a week, while she doesn’t work or study. She often said she likes being spoiled, and over time that started to drain me.

In the beginning, we had explosive fights. She’s my first girlfriend, and I wasn’t good at handling emotions. She once tried to break up but changed her mind after crying a lot. After that, things got much better — the last year felt really strong.

We even made a plan to save for a €2000 bag she wanted. That wasn’t the problem; I was happy to help. But she kept asking for money for small things (nails, hair, hobbies) even though I told her how stressed I was financially.

During our last fight, I snapped and broke up with her. She asked six times if I meant it, and I said yes — I was just exhausted and angry. Afterward, I removed her and her family from everything. She wasn’t just my girlfriend, she was also my best friend.

She later said she wants a one-week break to think, to let the emotions settle because everything feels too painful and toxic right now. She admitted she’s hurting too but doesn’t know if this can still work. She said she might want to see me next weekend to talk.

I told her I respect her space, but it feels like she’s slowly letting me go — replying slower, texting less. It hurts to think she might want someone who spoils her rather than someone who truly builds with her.

Now I’m confused. It sounds like she’s half decided, but she still hasn’t fully closed the door. My gut says she’s fading me out slowly.

I still love her deeply, but I don’t know whether to keep hoping or start letting go.
