She has been dealing with problems with trying to find a job, dropping out of college and just generally trying to get her life in order. She said all of this has pushed us apart and has made her question our compatibility. So she is taking some time to herself to get things straight and try to rediscover our relationship. Could this work? I don't think I can wait forever, but I respect her enough to fulfill her wishes to give her time to decide rather that just call it over and move on right away. Am I doing the right thing?

I was the one that called for a break because I was really stressed out and she said she couldn't help me. Thats when I told her that I couldn't be with someone that all I do is try to help, but can't help me in my time of need. When we both realized that, we said we should take a break. We promised to keep in touch not just forget about one another and wait for the end result.

I feel like her problems are my fault, because I can be a very demanding person, not verbally abusive in any way, but I push her to do her best and try her hardest. I'm wondering if I pushed too hard. There is so many questions and so many possibile answers to what has gone wrong, but that is what is sticking out in my mind. Could i have overstepped the boundry of being too supportive and became overly demanding? Not meaning to hurt her in anyway...just took looking out for best intrests too far?

It just means she is trying to get herself on track and maybe just needs some space to do that. She cannot give you her all in the relationship if her life is not on track. Give her the time and space be her friend be understanding but do not push her. Go on with your life as well stay busy go out with friends live again because you need to realize when she has figured it all out she will either come back to you or she may move on with out you. And you will need to know how to function with out her.

Yes it can work if you both still want it to.
give her some time - she needs to take some time for herself to get things going her way again. just be sure to let her know that you are there for her and even though she wants time to herself - call her up to let her know you are thinking about her or send her a little something - if you ignore her she will think then that she really is all alone and it will be harder to get things back the way you want them

Yes, but if she takes too long you should give up.
I told my boyfriend I needed a break, and discovered that I didnt want to be with him anymore.
