Over the weekend, my girlfriend of over a year sat me down and said that she needed space to figure things out. Up until this point, we had had no problems. Neither of us have cheated and I thought we were both happy. Until a few days ago when she dropped the "space" bomb on me. Everyone that I've talked to and everything that I've read says to give her her space.don't contact her. At first this seemed like an impossible task. For the past year, we've spoken daily. We lived together. And now, I can't text her, call her, e-mail her. It's the worst situation I've ever been put in and I don't know what to do to keep my brain from exploding.
I love her more than anything in this world and want nothing more than to be with her.but as of right now, that can't happen. So, what do I do? I'm obviously going to do my best to distance myself but how long do I wait before I contact her. Should I give it a week and just send a little "hello" message? Or should I completely bail all together?
Any advice on this situation, whether good or bad, is incredibly appreciated. Help put my mind at ease.
Thank you.

Ouch. That hurts, man, I'm sorry.
But the ball's in her court.
I suggest you cut off all contact with her. If she dropped this bomb on you out of nowhere, I don't think you owe her much.
Don't be cruel about it, or issue an ultimatum, but don't contact her, either.
It hurts like crazy, but it's probably the best way to handle this. Don't expect that you'll ever date her again -- if you _do_ date her again, that could be good, but don't expect it.
Good luck
WELL SHE IS GOIN THREW SOMETHING RIGHT NOW TO WHERE SHE IS CONFUSED ABOUT WHAT SHE WANTS GIVE HER TIME TRY UR HARDEST NOT TO CALL OR ANYTHING FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS AND THEN SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHATEVER IS UR IS URS N SHE WILL KOME BACK IF ITS MENT TO BE BUT JUS GIVE HER SPACE TO REALIZE WHAT SHE IS MISSIN OK.HOPE ALL WORKS OUT.OH YEA N KEEP URSELF BUISY SO IT DOESNT HURT AS MUCH NOT TALKING TO HER
Yea I agree stay out of contact with her let her miss you! I'm in a situation with mine where I am in contact with her everyday and she will never miss me that way lol I'm trying to ease into no contact so she can realize life without me.
