<human>: Can you condense the text into a few key points?

M20 F20 (I'm the M), been dating for over a year, known each other for over two.

About 9 months ago my girlfriend and I decided to move in together. Over that course, we had our differences and it came out that she felt she needed her space. I didn't accommodate that at the time and she fell into a slump, but she resolved to sign a new lease with me and get her own pets. She's since been visiting her parents across the country and has left me in the new place (that we moved into about a week before she left) with her pets. It's been the hardest month of my life so far (and still have a bit more to go), but I've made a lot of self discoveries and made a lot of progress that has made me more self sufficient and less inclined to be as smothering as I once was.

Here's the problem. Due to her sadness when she left, having her independence across the country has resolved her to want to move out when she gets back. She hasn't given me a chance to show her how great the new place is. She hasn't given me a chance to show her how much self improvement I've made. Is it wrong of me to want her to try living with me for a bit to see if the new place is a good fit? Beyond that, she signed a lease with me. I can't afford to live in this place on my own. She's also unemployed right now (her mom pays her rent). I just feel like I'm being given the short end of the stick right now. I've given her so much space on her trip as of late and I realize how easy it is to make large decisions when you're 2000 miles away, but I don't think it should be so.

Thanks for reading. I had to get it off my chest.
<bot>: Girlfriend is across the country, decides she wants to move out, I feel like I deserve another chance to show her how much I've improved in her absence.
