Could this breakup be the space she needed?

A male age 36-40, anonymous writes:

Please help. My girlfriend all of the sudden started to miss her ex which led to some distant behavior. I started asking what's wrong and she just got irritated but I could tell something was up. So she calls me tells me she misses him because they were together for so long, then she told me I don't deserve this right now so she wanted to take some space and that she's not breaking up with me. This put me in an awful mood, I couldnt sleep and I was going to see her the next day. She didn't text me at all and I didn't her. When I finally saw her it was just kind of awkward and distant. This made me even more depressed and upset. So when I finally dropped her off with her guy friend she just kind of jumped out of the car, "yeah bye I love you" and I didn't see her friend coming up to my window to invite me to hang with them. So I sped off in a sort of rage. She calls me later that day and breaks up with me for driving away from him and claims I've been jealous and clingy. I'll admit I have been jealous because she only hangs out with guys and that's hard to get used to. But now she won't let me talk to her at all. She's removing all our tagged pictures together and just making it so clear that we're done. She gave half of my stuff back two days later. Now she wants her things back, not all of them but most.
