Hello!

Being able to overcome loneliness is one of the most important skills that each person has to develop. Having a break with a partner is OK but picture it as a training or something. Your girlfriend can’t stay with you 24/7. If you keep treating her like your only hope, it’s not going to work out. First, it will be a hard duty for her. Second, in case you both break up you won’t have any support at all. So shift your attention from your girlfriend to yourself. Imagine how you would live this life if you didn’t have this relationship. I would recommend that you find other kinds of support as well, which will help you in a difficult situation. This could be sports, hobbies, self-development etc.

I really appreciate her being there for you, but her asking for a break because maybe she feels exhausted is acceptable and you should support her the way she supports you, at some point some day some hour some second of our life we'll be left alone me you anyone else, we should be able to take care of ourselves and not always be dependent on someone

Moreover I sense maybe this isn't loneliness, you miss her because you don't have someone to organize your life, which I understand, but as I said you need to learn to stay by yourself and also provide rest to your girlfriend

I don't think she wants to leave you , she just wants a break and I would suggest you to show capabilities that yes you can stand this, otherwise then she might feel tied down and bounded if you're unable to provide her space which she needs

she doesn't want to leave you my friend, she just needs a break which you both agreed to, so the correct step will be to actually give her the space she wants, otherwise she might get pissed that she is being held back even when she needs a space and break, you love her but right now she might not he this as love but a responsibility and bondage, so if you don't wish such thoughts to be ingrained in her mind then don't intrude her space


Keep asking her health and wellbeing, and please try to be self dependent and take care of your things, it's amazing you have people who take care of everything for you but that should be an additional support and not primary support, primary support should be you yourself
