unsure of going backwards

[huntersixx]

Well I'm new here and this is my first post so please be easy on me. I never thought I'd be posting for some help but I'm sure it couldn't hurt.

Here's the cut and dry. My girlfriend and I have been together since January. She got her final divorce papers on Friday. Saturday we had a conversation that I need to be more forceful, direct, or have more inititive in the bedroom. That's fine by me. I'll work on that. Sunday we have a very long talk about her needing space. Sure we've been spending tons of time together. Everything seemed perfect to me at least. I'd send an email in the morning wishing her a good day and call to say hello once during the day. Then we'd either get together at night or we'd IM or talk on the phone a bit. I never gave much thought of that being overwhelming but to her it is. I asked her if she wanted to end things and she said no and also if she wanted her house key back and said no.

My mother is coming in from out of town soon and my girlfriend is still excited to meet her. She introduced me to her family and some of her close friends last weekend, and to me that is a step forward but then I get hit with the fact she wants us to slow down. She told me that I'm also too available. I'm always up for doing something with her. Maybe I'm still in the honeymoon phase and she's out of it now. I'm very confused. After our long talk, the night ended with a quick kiss and an exchange of I love yous.

She is very honest. Sometimes brutally honest so if she wanted to end things I'm sure she would have. I'm just not sure what to do. I asked her point blank what she wants from me and she said she didn't know. Right now we're still a couple but I'm doing my damnest to give her some space. It's tough not contacting her and just waiting to hear from her.

Like I said this is my first time posting. That's because normally I dont think it would be huge deal. I've been divorced and have been single now for 3 years. She has turned my world upside down and truly believe she's the one for me so I want to do all I can to make it work.

To whoever can get through this rambling please pass along your thoughts. So far I'm just trying to give space because I dont want to push her away but it's hard to take some steps backwards. Thanks in advance!
