She also said she wants a break from sex as she needs space. I was fine with it but today I got the feeling that she is trying to turn me on. I did not bite. Not sure if she is testing me (although I don't know what the test case is or the motivation behind her test) or she if just wants me to make a move on her as she is feeling horny. Strange behavior, nevertheless. I am not sure how to handle this. And yeah, as expected she said she is okay with me having sex with someone else while on the break. She pressed me on it and finally I responded saying "I won't have sex with someone else" and then exited. Should I have responded? If yes, how?
Absolutely textbook behaviour. She wants to test if you push for sex so she will know she has you as her backup plan, and is trying to smoke you out by withholding sex. It’s also a test to see if your changes (lack of pandering to her and seemingly getting on with your life without her) are real or fake.
She’s wobbling big time, and this is a check that her old monkey branch is still going to be solid while she’s transferring weight to a new branch.
Your response was absolutely perfect. Made your position clear, but didn’t attempt to control or manipulate her behaviour or whatever she is choosing to do. “I’m not going to have sex with other people.” And leave.
