MY GF says she needs space.. what should I do..
Firstly, I will start with a little background information. My girlfriend(18)(she is half italian half irish I know what a mix) and I (19) (100% indian from INDIA)have been dating for the past two years. As with every couple we have had our ups and OUR DOWNS... but we always seemed to work things out and get back together. Till, recently my girlfriend has just been acting differently, I feel a difference in the way she feels towards me lets call it a GUT feeling. Now she finally came out and told me she wants some space because we were hanging out with each other on a daily basis. Which for the last year she graduated school and was unemployed till just recently she is working m-f 9am-4pm and I work m-f 9am-1pm in the morning and 5pm-9pm at night a sat 9am-1pm. So as you can see we haven't been able to see each other as much but she still feels as if we do and that I hold her back from hanging out with her friends. And I understood the concern and dealt with her hanging out with her friends more often but she still wanted this so called SPACE, Now I am very hurt, I love her with all my heart, I just want her to be happy and I don't know what to do should I give her time and not call her just wait for her to call me. Since every time she says she wants space I ask her if she wants me to move on and if she cares if I talk to other females and her immeddiate response is she still wants to be with me just not right now so I take that as she doesn't want me to move on just linger around waiting for her. And she did invite me to go with her to a new years party her dad invited her to so I don't know why she would invite me if she wants space... ya know? But how long is the space thing last for... Anyone know how long is too long and any advice from experience. Also, it is very hard for me to stop thinking about her I can't get her out of my mind and to resist not to call her is VERY VERY HARD... PLEASE HELP ME
