Hi Nkent77, welcome to Psych Central. Ok, it's understandable that you had worries about committing. It's good that you figured that out too. You are still young too, and the other relationships you had, you were still growing and learning and so were the other women you had relationships with. It's hard after going through relationships that did not work out, anyone can end up getting cold feet and do things to avoid getting hurt again. After all you are only human.

It's ok to take a break and think things over, and it's important you respect that she wants that too. Silence is not always a bad thing either. Taking a time out from someone isn't such a bad thing, it gives a person time to clear their mind and think about what they really want. After all, you want her to have time to decide she wants to move forward with you and visa versa. She has told you there is no other person, isn't even looking, all good signs. Respect her time, gotta trust and respect because those are important things to have in a relationship for it to last.
