I hurt my ex girlfriend and she wants space?

[Sillygoose2345]

My ex and I recently broke up and it was because I pushed her away due to being scared. I kept starting fights and found things that I could latch on to and drove it until I broke up with her. I was scared bc we could potentially become really serious. I realized after I broke up with her that I pushed her away like I usually do and I want to try and reconcile. She said that she needs space and that she still loves me and doesn't want to sabotage it. She said that I caused damage, pain, frustration, etc. What should I do?

Let a bit of time pass. Let her know that you are sorry. It is especially rare for a guy to apologise and if she ever cared, she won't be able to say no to a second chance. Don't be afraid fo insist a bit if she feels uncertain about her decision.
But first give her some space and let a bit of time pass

How long should I give her/not contact her?

[PurpleBear14]

Yes, don't call her and text her. Say hi when you meet face to face and it's ok to ask how she's doing. At least for a week or two.

Well you’ll end up getting back together sooner or later. Then, if what you are saying is true, you’ll just end up doing it again and you’ll either have a horrible dysfunctional relationship or you’ll break up again.

Give her space but ask her is this space for you to get some air and regroup and us get back together or is it for her to see other people. Clarify that
