I know, I know, we aren’t fans of LTRs but I am in one and I know I fucked up because my girl said she needs space. I am wondering what I can do to correct the behavior that I have been following. What I have done so far:

•I do not text or call her unless she does so first •I have been going out with friends and making plans as much as possible •I have been re-exploring my hobbies and things I enjoy doing

It’s been 5 days and she has been saying she misses me, I think I’m doing well but I want to avoid this in the future so if I can ask; What causes a woman to “need space”?
