My girlfriend (18F) and I (18M) were having a rough week and it felt like she was pulling away, until last weekend it was at the point were we were going to breakup, but I convinced her that we just need a break. There's been some issues that we were struggling with throughout the relationship about trust in each other and us both overthinking things. We were in a long-distance relationship and only got to see each other on the weekends which made it harder aswell.
We talked and agreed that we both were in a bad headspace and should focus on ourselves before being in a relationship, we both suffer from pretty bad anxiety and she has struggled with depression for a lot of her life. I want to do the right thing and support her but it feels like I can't during this break. She wants me to wait a few months until I reach out and then see what we both feel like then but I cant help but feel like all this distance is only going to make us grow apart. It doesn't help that we didn't decide we should stay fully exclusive during the break, it feels like shes already gotten over it so quickly. Should we just breakup and stay as friends so we both have closure or could this break actually be whats best for the relationship?
