HI Karen ~

Situations like this are never easy. But perhaps your girlfriend might have a good suggestion there. Since you both have decided that you need this time apart, maintaining in the daily contact may not be allowing either of you that chance to think through exactly what it is which created your seperation at present. And the constant contact may only distract the both of you from attending to that issue in order for it to be resolved.
It would be sorta senseless if you decided to get back together without even reaching a resolution to what broke you both up. Normally, issues like that will eventually resurface.....usually with greater force.

It's just a thought. I sincerely hope it all works out for you both. Good luck.
