Love.

Absolutely honey as we are not obligated to be with a significant other. Always remember though to be prepared as absence sometime either makes the heart grow fonder or grow separate ways. She may not be happy with the decision for space so she may end up angry and you may lose her for good. However this will also give you an insight of her true feelings as if she is really in love with you she will understand and show you her love instead of staying separate. Good luck with this as I wish you well.

It depends how she is with things like that. Some girls would take that the wrong way and think that you're breaking up with them. What is the misunderstanding you're having?
