<human>: I made a post here a day or so ago. My girlfriend of 4.5 years told me on the 15th that she wants some time apart from our relationship. I won't go into details here since that's not the focus of this post, but if you're interested go ahead and read [here](

She said that she wants a break for 1-2 months. No communication. At first I thought this break was more for her, but now I think I realize she asked for time apart to metaphorically kick me in the ass and realize I haven't been treating her not nearly as well as I should have been. I love her very much, but now that I've had time to contemplate our relationship, I believe I started taking her for granted some time ago. That has resulted in the two of us not growing much as a couple and our relationship stagnating, and her feeling unhappy with things in general. Or so I think.

But I digress. I'm having a really difficult time not talking to her. There is so much I would like to say and ask, and I dread that I will have to wait at least another 28 days before she'd like to hear from me again. She is my best friend, and now that I'm going through such an emotional period I don't have her, or anyone really, to turn to. I really want nothing more than to talk to her. I definitely think I need some time to mull our relationship over – I'm starting to see that a break was important to us – but maybe just a week or two. A month is hard to imagine. 

My question is: Will contacting her before a month jeopardize our relationship or alienate her? Or is it possible that she has been wanting to talk to me and would like to as well? **I was thinking of writing her a letter in a couple of weeks saying that I would really like to talk to her, but I understand if she is not ready to do so yet since she asked for 1-2 months. Would that be harmful?**

I know in my gut that it would probably hurt more than help, and I want to respect her boundaries. But I just miss her unbearably.

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
