On a break, but then I got injured

[FMW]

I agree with Marc, you're desperately looking for a reason to reach out to your gf.

 

Honestly, if she hasn't reached out to you in 10 days I would consider you broken up. If your relationship was intact she would have known about your injury and you would have already talked about the ex popping back up. Having to wonder about letting her know because you have no contact with her - at her request - says it all.

 

It's clear you want her back, and I'm sorry you find yourself in this situation. I think it's in your best interest to proceed as if the relationship is over. Maybe she'll come back to you later and you can decide then if you want her back, but for now her silence is speaking volumes.

Quit sitting in limbo and make a decision.

 

Wait out the thirty days, hear her tell it it's not going to work out, then spend six months berating yourself for what a fool you've been.

 

Or....

 

Do a preemptive strike and end the relationship on your terms. You will feel better knowing you took control.

 

Either way its over.

She never asked me not to make contact. We've had contact since she said she wanted a break. I didn't talk to her for a bit over a week when it initially happened, and then we stopped talking again after about a week of talking.

 

I love her and I feel like she loves me still. She's kept all our pictures up on her social media. She still has my key and other items, and I still have a key to her place and even her car. She hasn't asked for those back. I think she would have by now if she wanted this to be permanent.

I know you are in the relationship and I'm standing outside of it. If it was up to me I would have you live happily ever after. I'm only telling you what it looks like.

 

In my opinion she is distancing you. She will use this month to gather her courage and hope that the time away will mitigate your pain.

 

If you have evidence that convinces you otherwise then please pass me by because I would rather be wrong.

 

Fix me a big plate of crow and I'll happily munch it down.

It's unlikely anyone here is going to tell you that contacting her is a good thing to do. But it's clear that is what you really want to do - so contact her. It's your life, your relationship.

You're not together with your gf and appear to be broken up, so there is absolutely no reason to tell her about the ex, but you should be sure the ex knows you're not interested in her and if you are using her, you shouldn't be.
