<human>: I've been in a long term relationship with my girlfriend for 3 years now, and we're both in our final years of university. Naturally, things have gotten very hectic and busy, with both of us working jobs/internships, going to school full time, and making time for friends, homework, free time, and most of all each other. After what seemed to be a minor fight, she decided that we needed to take a break, and we've been on a semi-break for almost two weeks now. The reason I say semi-break is because I've contacted her every 2-3 days to try to make an appeal to her, or come up with a lame excuse to contact her(Clothes left behind, errand needs to be run, etc.) . I know I'm screwing things over for myself by contacting her all the time, but it's hard to stop contacting her, especially when she doesn't seem like she really wants to break up, and just needs some space. When pushed about whether she wants the breakup, she responds that she doesn't know yet, and that I just need to leave her alone for a while. She still wants me to show up to her graduation, and she promised that she'd write to me from her graduation trip with her family. I guess my questions are: How long do I give her, how do I stop myself from hounding her, and is this just a precursor to a real breakup?

Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?
