However, you can tell she's emotionally checked out if she used to be clingy but now she wants to be away from you. She'd grab at any invitation, even from the people she doesn't really like, just to not spend the night with you. She'd visit her family more often too, even if they're not really that close.
One huge component of lasting relationships is envisioning your shared future together, as you co-create your lives and partnership. "When a couple can no longer imagine a future together, or their view of the future doesn't align, it is indicative of it coming to an end," Spinelli explains.
How an individual sees and talks about their future may lend insight into how much love they feel. For example, if either party imagines a future without the other or dreads the idea of spending more years together, it could be a sign that love is no longer present.
If no-contact lasts and you don't chase after her, a woman is likely to move on from the relationship. She'll be able to focus her attention on herself, as she will come to learn that she can be happy without you. On the other hand, the no contact rule for women isn't always permanent.
Simply put, the female mind during no-contact rule is more likely to struggle with negative feelings. Your ex will be a mess for a while. Crying, grieving, feeling anxious, and even entering a depressive phase. It can be overwhelming for her to come to terms with the idea of leaving behind a shared life with you.

“Space can heal a relationship,” explains Jason Polk, a licensed clinical social worker and couples therapist in Denver, Colorado, “especially if the couple is currently toxic or verbally abusive to each other.” That's why some couples therapists might even suggest a break or taking space to a couple.
