I love her, but I need more room to think on my own. I feel like when I'm with her for too long I don't have the adequate time to think on my own about life. I just wonder if I'm meant to be single. It's sad, because we're both attached to each other in other ways. I don't know where to begin.

Hey - I'm sorry you're going through this difficult time. I'm not sure I have anything truly wonderful to offer here other than a cyber hug as I'm going through a similar issue with my other half.
It's incredibly difficult to separate the two and we've discussed spending some time apart so I have the space I need. Thing is, for me, I just want to run. And not stop. I'm not sure what from/to but space is absolutely needed for me, to look after self and understand my own needs before I can communicate that into if the relationship is the cause or the savior.
