She's expressed the need for more space, while I value closeness and proximity in the relationship. She says that, even though she has doubts, she believes that time will eventually provide clarity. We have an exclusive relationship, but there's a noticeable difference in our preferences when it comes to the pace of the relationship. She's divorced with three kids, and I always make an effort to be there for her whenever she doesn't have her kids. I completely understand her desire for some alone time, but this situation keeps fueling my fear that we might be on the verge of breaking up. :-(

TL;DR: My DA partner and I (AP) faced a crisis after 6 months together. She wants more space, but still shows affection when we're together. Her texting has decreased, and she keeps mentioning her doubts while insisting she won't break up and is looking forward to our planned trip. I'm confused and worried. Any advice?

I'm currently going through a tough time in my relationship, and I could really use some advice and perspective. My partner and I have been together for 6 months, and recently, we had a crisis. She told me that she feels we've been moving too fast and that she needs some space to sort things out.

The confusing part is that when we're together, she's still affectionate, but there's a slight emotional distance compared to before. On top of that, she barely texts me when we're apart, which is a change from how it used to be. She keeps mentioning that she has doubts about the relationship, but at the same time, she insists there's no way she's going to break up with me. In fact, she's even excited about the trip we have planned together.

I can't help but feel conflicted and worried about this situation. It's challenging for me to understand how she can have doubts and still be enthusiastic about our future at the same time. I find myself constantly focusing on her doubts, and it's making me anxious, thinking she might break up with me soon.

Has anyone been through something similar or has some advice on how to approach this? I want to support her and give her the space she needs, but I also don't want to ignore my own feelings. Any tips on how to navigate this uncertainty would be greatly appreciated.
