I (29M) have been living with my girlfriend (30F) for about 10 months. Recently she asked me to move out. She says I’ve become too comfortable in our relationship, not taking initiative, and that she’s stressed with her studies. She also said some hurtful things (calling me “smelly” and saying she has higher standards). She suggested we meet again in about 10 days when she’s back. Right now I feel disrespected, confused, and I can’t focus. How should I respond, or what should I consider next? Any advice would be appreciated.

Tl;dr: after 10 months together, my girlfriend asked me to move out. She says I lack initiative and progression. I feel hurt and confused. She wants to meet again in 10 days. Should I give space or try to fix it?

Edit1: I do help at home (laundry, cleaning, bring food). She's soon to be doctor, me phd candidate. Dates have been less frequent lately, more just relaxing together. I shower every second day, deodorant not always - maybe underestimated that.
