Advice on my [26/m] situation with my gf [30/F]? What she said and how she is acting hurts me. Airing out all my woes with her

Okay, thanks for your helpful reply. I'll let her enjoy her time away from me. I think I did smother her too much (in her mind) since I been pushing her to call me, etc. I'll send her the documents, but I'll wait for her to do so, as it can wait and I want to show her I'm giving her some space. I'll let her contact me first within the next two days. I hope that I haven't smothered her so much that she doesn't want to see/hear from me. Like I said, I barely been in contact with her for the past week, but I think the contact we had made me come off as needy. She knows my typical patterns. I usually don't text her good morning (good nights only if she does so), etc. but I usually don't go a complete day without texting her something/asking her to call. She'll see the behavior change with me not texting her anything/asking me to call for the next two days.

Do you think this will be a good start? How should I approach meeting her Friday knowing she feels like she needs space? I just remembered something, this weekend she has work ~4 hours and said I could hang out with her at work for a few hours and then I should go off and do my own thing. I made it clear I wanted to be with her the entire time, but she pushed me to do something else for those hours. She will have some friends around (working too) and the employer has been notified I'll be coming and is fine with me hanging out, but regardless... should I drop out and let her do her thing for 4 hours? Should I be conscious about giving her her space on this trip? I do feel like I should stay at least 2 hours (as we planned) at her job, but then the other 2 I'll do something else and explore the city.

I'm rambling again... but game plan for next two days is to not text/call her and let her text/call me first. I can do this. But how should I act when I'm around her? Knowing she needs space and feels smothered makes me feel bad about the trip. (Fri-leave Monday). If I could rewind time I would have barely contacted her at all the past week.
