Yes, I think time stepping back from the situation would give you a respite and perspective, just like any relationship. There has to be a balance between we time and me time.
In most "normal" relationships, marriage or otherwise, it is not healthy or normal to spend ALL your time together. Each person has individual interests, needs and desires. And logical and rational people understand this. You cannot give fully to a relationship if you are not giving to yourself.
In this case, it also helps you find balance. You are acutely aware of your impatience and what is the one thing we preach to newcomers, PATIENCE.
Nothing is going to change NOW, unless you force it and then it will not be, as you pointed out, the outcome you desire.
Consider how far the dynamic has come and changed. She is purusing, albeit at her pace, you have to recognize this, understand this and live with this.
