(((((((artist))))))) I agree with the traits you listed... and add understanding. Woman can get scared easily, I think, especially when things really "click." Give her the space she asks for, so maybe she can think about it all.. and then if she "comes back" you will both know it's her decision... might even be better than the short time already?!

I'm sorry you are feeling it so... I can see you are sensitive for sure. BTW what kind of artist are you? I mean, what medium? TC
