Should I respond timely to her after she wants a break?

I have hurt the love of my life and caused her to want a break, she is the most amazing thing to ever happen to me, so sweet, innocent, loving, and all about me. She would NEVER do anything to cheat or dishonor our loyalty towards each other and I am the same way.

But recently my insecurities got the best of me and it really upset her and pushed her away and she wanted a break because of it. Now she isn't going to remove any pictures or change anything because it really isn't a breakup its more so to just have some space to clear our minds and get back on track.

Now I read things about the no contact rule, but our relationship is more than that, and she has been texting me and I have just been telling her of my steps forward in bettering myself and she's just really hurt and just so proud of me and still says she loves me. But she still does keep in contact, so is it ok to continue to text her back? I don't want to not answer her for days or anything like that since she's the one contacting me, but I also don't want to just answer back right away and seem needy. Advice? Thanks!

    You have a problem with your insecurities. But you are willing to work on them. You should be so proud of yourself that you are not afraid to admit that you are the reason for her wanting to have a break from you. You have told her that you have started to change by making a few good steps to bettering yourself. And that has not changed anything. She still wants to have a break from you. There is only one problem here. You won’t be able to work things out by taking a break. Usually when someone takes a break from the relationship then, the relationship ends. You need to work things out together. You can’t work things out if you are on a break. She has to continue to date you so she can see that every day you are changing and working hard on your insecurities. If she doesn’t want to get back with you then just tell her that you cannot talk to her until you are completely healed from your insecurities. The longer she takes a break from you then, don’t count on her ever getting back with you. Some other guy with no insecurities will come along, and he will steal her away from you. Is that what you want? It has to be clear that there should not be a break and for you guys to work things together as couple.
