Women what's the best things a boyfriend can do during a pause in a relationship?

[Anonymous]

Recently my girlfriend of 3 years has wanted a pause in our relationship for a little bit, to work on her self. she's having problems she's needing to deal with and says "it's not you it's me". I haven't felt any red flagging problems in our relationship that would be cause for a breakup we've always been loving caring supporting and open with eachother with everything that's been on our minds, no fights, no unresolved problems, no red flags from what i can tell. she even says she didn't want to even do the pause or at least not for a long time, really just wants to try and fix up her problems she has first before unpausing. And even apologized for doing this and if it hurt me in anyway. But I did let her know that it's all okay and that I understood and I'd be here for her, she did say that she has problems with her mind, her family, and there's also been a incident of touching that has happened to her at her work that has left her really feeling horrible honestly , and yes i felt really pissed off about the incident but thats not the point right now. During this time of pause she has a appointment with a therapist, through out the pause she also says she doesn't want to stop talking.
But women if you tell your boyfriend you want a pause in the relationship what does the pause mean? what's the best thing you'd like your boyfriend to do?

I appreciate the thoughts from the guys on this but i would also have liked to hear a woman's perspective on this though

You only hint at why she needs to pause. Isn't one of the great benefits of being in a committed relationship is that your significant other helps you over those bumps.

You mention a couple of times that "there are no red flags." Why does she want to go it alone? To me, that seems like a red flag.

Thank you for the MHO. Good luck with your girlfriend.

There is no "pause", single means your ready to mingle. Everyone knows the risks of not making a move in middle school. If people don't want to change with you and work out everything together. That's not even a relationship.

Move on. You're wasting your time waiting for someone to try to sort themselves out. Find someone who already has things figured out

In this world the only ones that are like that are more than likely much much older than me

The reason why older people think that way is because we've seen this a thousand times and it never works out. If she put you on pause she's not concerned about listing you. The sooner you accept it's over the better of you'll be

She wants to fuck someone else, without feeling guilty about it.

RUN!
