"I want to give you this space. I know it's healthy for you and you asked for it. Let's do this day by day."
That's one more day she's in the house, and one more day you're with her. I've cherished each day, but I've screwed up royally along the way.
If you can give her space in the house, there is no need for her to leave it.
I know my W asked for space. I gave her two days of it - I fully engulfed myself and tried the hardest ever. Was super nice and loving, but gave her lots of space. No touching. No ILY. No calls from work. No asking to go to bed. Within two days she was cuddling with me in bed. You may not believe it, but she wants and craves physical touch as much as you do.
I don't know how much more space I can give her in the house. She's definitely had more than 2 days of it, and she's definitely not spooning with me.
I also think that she really wants to prove that she can be on her own, make her own decisions etc. So that's hard to compete with.
