Gf says she's not sure if we're ok. Is this rejection?

[Harry2021]

My gf has been quite distant for a couple of months. Admittedly this is because she has a lot on her plate and is stressed about things. Whilst I understand this and understand if she doesn't want to see me and wants some space and doesn't want to chat to me or touch me etc. I just want to know that we’re ok but she says that she’s not sure if we’re ok because she’s not sure that she’s ok. It feels like rejection? Most of things she is worried about have been going on for a while and were present when we first started dating and she always seemed ok then so that’s why I’m concerned due to the shift. If I was stressed out about anything I think I'd always be able to say that we're ok. I'm not sure what to think.

All I can say is I'm seeing someone and also going through alot of stressful stuff in other parts of my life and my relationship is really the bottom of my priority just now. Not to say in a few months it will get better but when you head is mashed with other stresses, its hard to be the best partner you can and focus on the relationship.
Maybe just give her a bit of space and time and be there when she needs you but don't put pressure on her as that will end up pushing her away even more

I think you should trust her when she says she's not sure if she's ok. It sounds a little bit like a cry for help from her, actually

Sounds like she is going through something. Might be completely unrelated to you, so work on that basis.

Best thing you can do is make sure she knows you are there to support her with anything she needs. And do not expect anything in return until she has worked through whatever it is thats bothering her. Don't put pressure on, especially for sexual intimacy, if shes backing away as this will only make her back away more. Give her a few hugs, make her feel safe. Then she might open up to you and you can both work on whats bothering her.

Thanks. I'd never put pressure on anyone for anything physical. I was on my own for several years before we got together so I'm used to going without intimacy for very long periods.
I'd love to give her hugs but she doesn't even want hugs which is confusing.
I will back off but my heart might back off too. I can't understand why its so difficult to just say we're ok. I try to imagine a friend asking if they were ok.... I couldn't imagine anyone saying to a friend 'actually we're not ok' or ' we're not friends'.
If someone tells me 'they're not sure where the relationship is going' then I just don't feel good enough. Maybe it's just me being insecure.
