How badly did I fuck up, is it over?
I don't even know what kind of advice I could get for this, but I need to say it somewhere, and I don't like airing out relationship issues with personal friends or family, but I am just going nuts in my own mind right now, it feels so dramatic and so pathetic.

I started dating a girl about half a year ago, up until this point I haven't dated in well over 10 years and I was fine with that, I had no interest in dating but she approached me, romantically interested, I resisted at first but eventually she pulled me in and I had some of the best months of my life, it all seemed to happen so soon but I genuinely fell in love with her in a way I never expected to feel again in my life.

Things were going fine until she suddenly started to change up a bit, nothing drastic or drama but the affection from her definitely began to feel like it was waning, which I get is normal, the honeymoon phase and all that, logically I am aware of that but emotionally it made me really concerned, I became hyper sensitive to things she said or did (or didn't do) and I would bring them up. We are very good at communicating with each other and promised to always be up front if we were having issues. This is a double edged sword because perhaps I should have just swallowed some shit and went through it. Over the last month we've been having lots of heated/emotionally discussions, nothing cruel, no big blow type things, but definitely emotionally tense. A lot of things she said to be early in the relationship she began to go back on, I began to become very jealous of her relationship with her male best friend, feeling like he was getting more attention than me.

About a day ago we had another emotional talk, and it ended with her essentially going "Everything you're saying is fair, I would also be upset if I were in your shoes, but I'm starting to think I am just not cut out for relationships" and....

we ended up deciding to take a week break from each other to give her time to think about that. It's only been a day and I can not stop thinking about her, I can't stop thinking about it all, I wish I could undo the last month so badly, even though she said herself my concerns are valid, I can't help but think I've been too sensitive, I let my fear of losing someone I've grown to really love make me hyper critical, hyper sensitive, and in turn that probably ended up being the thing that pushes her away.

Is there any hope? Is this "I don't think I'm cut for relationships" just a round about way of saying it's over even if she doesn't realize it now?

It's insane how I've gone most of my life single, most of my life accepting and content with dying alone and yet now I don't want to think about a life without her.

Yeah that's fair but there's no way to cut this down

What do YOU bring to this relationship other than some random griping? What does she get out of being with you? Focus on keeping up your end of the deal rather than how she's doing

I teach her a lot of things, advice, introducing her to hobbies and things to do, she doesn't really have any friends and has a very weak sense of self, constantly coming to me for reassurances over various things. Also I make her laugh.
