I know you said you wanted pick me up ideas, but unfortunately I am not sure that I can provide that in good conscience. She is experiencing life on her own for probably the first time and it is her life she needs to experience. I am afraid that, while she may truly feel for you, your relationship is not as important as her need to figure out herself.
I do believe we will get back together, but the wait is killing me, it's been 2 full days now and I need to know her decision.
I do not want to let her slide, she means the world to me and from what I get from her, I was her rock.
This is a huge red flag in my opinion. For her. Two full days and you NEED to know her decision? Give me a break. If she wants time apart, two days is not what she was thinking. Trust me, she is not sitting around thinking about your relationship 24/7 like you are. She is doing things for herself. You should be doing the same.
Do you think she will come to her senses or will it take some sort of action on my behalf by 'breaking the silence' or doing something courageous?
Come to her senses? Because she wants to take time away from you she is out of her senses? Get over yourself. You are sounding very into yourself here and it is not an attractive trait. By the way, breaking the silence would be bad because she specifically has asked for space, so that would be showing her you do not respect her opinion. And I take it that by doing "something courageous" you mean something stupid?
If you are sure you two will get back together than just suck it up and give her the time she needs. But I have a feeling that you should start concentrating on yourself and your own life because I think the more she gets into her life more and understands more about herself, she will want to keep expanding her experiences and not retreat to what she already had.
