Girlfriend asked for break/space

I think you just need to give her the space she needs - she will come back to you when she is ready

You think? Thank you for the advice, it just kills me how she's talking to others on Messenger but doesn't message me, I'd like to be involved in helping her cope with things however I do respect her decision

I totally understand that, but if you message her when she's asked for no contact you risk pushing her away. Although, I'm sure one message asking how she's holding up wouldn't do any harm.

If she asks for space, give her that space. She will be fine, dont worry.

I don't want to come across as clingy so I'm not sure how frequently I should ask how she's doing.

I've also come up with a plan to ask her where we stand if she doesn't come back in the space of two weeks, is that a good idea?

Will she be back?

I'm not sure, if you're that concerned about her, maybe in two weeks ask how she is. But wait for her to approach the subject of your relationship, I think

Yes, she just needs to take care of her son.

Hello,

My girlfriend (24f) was acting off with me last week, she blamed it on stress; she'd message me less than usual and would be pretty blunt about it.

Two days ago her son (From her ex) had an incident which resulted in the paramedics and ambulance coming which stressed her furthermore, she then asked for a break from me.

She suffers from depression (bipolar) and severe anxiety, when I asked for reassurance that we'll get back together after the break and that she still loves me, she replied with " I'm not in the right state of mind right now, I'm still reassuring myself that my son is okay".

I've agreed to the break however she's gone with strictly no contact, I've also told her I loved her and that I'll be checking in every once in a while (not sure how frequent).

I need advice please! I seriously love this girl and would do anything for her!

I think her behavior is a little selfish but also understandable. Something has happened to her son, and that'll be all that is on her mind right now.

If all you are worried about currently, is the safety of your and her relationship with each other, with little/no thought about her son... she'll naturally be questioning your role in the relationship.

Try to make it a little less about yourself & a little more about her and her problems. That might help.

I guess, it doesn't help that my friends are telling me that she's probably using it as an excuse, also she's interacting with other people on Facebook but is avoiding me.

Your friends sound toxic. Get new ones.

I say "Friends" in reality they're just people I talk to, I'm very lonely as a person and rely on her alot, maybe that could also be the cause of her stress and having to take a step back?

Your overthinking this.
Her son is hurt you said. So obviously shes going to take time from the relationship to help him.

end it to be honest it sounds like she wants out anyway
