My girlfriend needs space. How long do I wait?
My girlfriend and I have been dating for about 3 months. We started as friends, with no expectations of anything more. But we spent so much time together and became very close. All of her friends and all of mine told us we were perfect for each other. I fought all the feelings I had for her until I couldn't anymore. Finally I told her how I felt about her and to my surprise she told me she felt it too. Things started slow, we promised each other we wouldn't move to fast. She recently got out of a long, not so good relationship, and I myself am divorced. I know we moved fast but we talked about it and made the adjustments when necessary. Things seemed good and we were happy, until a few days ago when she told me she just needed a few days a week to herself. I agreed but it still hurt me a bit. We talked about it and seemed like we had come to an agreement. The next day things seemed okay, but I know she could tell I was having trouble figuring it out. That night we had our first big argument. It was small compared to some couples but it hurt more than anything I have ever been through. She told me she was going to spend the weekend with some friends she hadn't seen in a while and I told her that was fine. I still dreaded going home alone and spending the weekend without her. Later that night she texted me to tell me what she was doing and I responded by telling her "Great. Have a good time. Be careful." She responded "Will do." and that was the last I have heard from her. It's been 2 days now with no call or text or anything. I have no idea what is going on. She told me she needed space, so I decided to give her space. But is it normal for her not to call me in that time? This is the longest we have gone without contact since we met each other. Should I make the first move, or should I let her? She told me she still wants to see me but she just needs space. What do I do? I am heart broken. Please help.
