    My girlfriend said she wants a break to find herself
    Hello,
    My girlfriend and I, both 20, have(had?) been going out for just over 2 years and everything was great. I've never felt this way about a girl before and she said she never has for a guy either.
    In July she moved into my house and everything was good for a while but then I could tell she wasn't as happy as she usually was and so we talked about it and she said she felt I was taking her for granted doing chores and things around the house and she thought she might want to move back in with her parents. I didn't understand it at the time but I accepted her decision and helped her move out and everything seemed to be going okay. Fast forward two weeks and she told me we needed to talk so we went for a drive and she explained that she was really confused at this time in her life and thought we should take a break so she could find herself. She kept saying that it was nothing I did but she just needed some time to figure herself out. We went on our break 2 nights ago and since then she's been out partying with a bunch of friends and staying out all night stuff like that. I'm at a loss of what to do, I love this girl very much and I never thought wed be apart but I feel like she just wants to be single right now because she's young and want to go out and do whatever. She says she still feels like we were meant for each other but doesn't know when she'll be ready to be in the relationship again. She told me not to wait for her and if it was meant to be it will be. Last night I told her I don't think we should talk for awhile to straighten each other's thoughts out which she agreed to and so we didn't have any communication today and its killing me not to text or call her like I usually do. What should I do?

    Do what she says. Don't wait for her. Sounds like she is gone.
    I know this is painful but you need to accept the fact that you two are done.
    Don't contact her and if she contacts you, tell her you are not ready to talk to her.
