Thank you Yep, I totally agree. It's not really "my" problem and I can't do anything except just be loving and supportive (not always easy but I can always try harder). She responded to me which was good. She basically just said she needs a break and that we'll talk about it in a few days and that we'll figure everything out. I think if I give her enough space there will be a void in her life (where I once was) and she'll recall all the happy times we have

I think this has taught me a lesson though. It's that you never really know when a person will be gone from your life, so you just always have to be a loving person. You never know when it's YOUR last day on earth or your mom's or dad's or your wife's or even the person you "hate." So just be a loving person and appreciate all the good things that you do have. So yeah, it's taught me a lesson but that doesn't take away the loneliness that's there from missing my girlfriend
