Leave her alone, as you need space to deal with your own demons.

How old are you two?

No doubt you need to give her some space and take a little breather.

In my experience, women are usually very truthful and honest, especially when it comes to emotional or relational things. If she says she doesn't want to break up for good, there's a very high probability that she's telling the truth.

I think you need to stop calling her, stop putting forth the "effort." I'm sure everyone has heard the "Action speaks louder than words."

You need to put the ball in her court. If it were me, I would call her or email her or write her a short friendly letter in a calm and rational voice. State that you are genuienly sorry. Don't beg or plead or gush, just state that your eyes have been opened, and that you can see now the error of your ways.

Tell her that you respect her and will give her the space she's asked for. Tell her that when she's ready you will be too. Let her make the decision to come back to you, and assure her that when she does, you'll be mindful of the things she has asked of you.

Then do it.
