Potential break up, probably my fault, girl on the fence.
So I've been having some trust / jealousy issues with my girlfriend. We began our relationship as an open relationship and her ex was sort of on and off the scene. Now we've been monogamous for several months and for whatever reason I have still worried about this other guy because they are still friends. I think I have at least some reason to be nervous because there has been some drama and secrecy surrounding them in the past, but mainly, in retrospect I'm afraid I was just being insecure and sort of mentally talking myself in to having a reason to worry about it and I made her feel like I was being too controlling. She has told me that she only wants me and only wants to be his friend. Well, I even had a particularly insecure day where my car was giving me trouble and things were rotten at work and I just wasn't feeling super great about myself that day. Some stuff came up about this ex and I kinda said "maybe it's time for you to make a choice" ... She said she didn't want to be with either of us. Now I feel like I see it from her perspective. She didn't leave me for him she just wanted to leave me because I was being insecure and making her uneasy with frequent little conflicts over this. All this happened yesterday and we talked a bit last night. She still says she loves me. She feels like she's not giving me a good relationship and nothing could be further from the truth. She says she might not be in a good space to have a relationship right now. She seems unsure of how to proceed and if we can continue or not. I need to convince her I know what I did wrong and that I can work to resolve the jealousy within myself. How do I go about it? She says she needs space but also asked me to keep in touch. I told her I need to get my head straight but I want to see her again. She said she wants to see me again too. How long do I wait to call her and tell her how I feel? I need a game plan.
