- Its natural my friend for someone in a relationship to take sometime off, and you should allow her that space. Its needed at times and you should respect that. Don't ask why or how long, just approve that. I understand that you got scared about the thing that she is asking you this, but there's nothing wrong in giving that time, as humans we all need time to think over thivgs and all she is asking for is sometime off and that's the space that she needs to think over something that's even more serious in her life, help her and be there for her not as a lover but as a best friend and as a person who'll always be there to hold her when she falls. Don't feel bad aboutit and ac in a matured way and let her have the time she needs.
Best of luck my friend.....
