My girlfriend [30F] who I have been seeing for ten months and I got into a fight about nonsensical things a week ago, resulting in yelling at each other and me going back home. While I recognize the error of much said that night, nothing was show-stopping or beyond terrible. Basically, we can't communicate well at times and we both have serious baggage from our past. 

Here is the challenge for me though: she said she just needed space last week and didn't want to see me outside of work (yes, we work at the same company, making this more complicated). I supported her in that and we only spoke at work or briefly over text all week. This past weekend ended and I called her Sunday after receiving texts about her missing me and asking how the weekend went. We talked and I went into a long apology about the fight, her feeling hurt, etc. and at the end she said she appreciates that but still needs more space. I asked her if she still saw us as currently "together" and when more specifically asked if we were still exclusive in her eyes, she responded with "I don't know." She then gets upset and defensive when I asked for clarification, because I'm trying to "push labels on her", despite us having already talked about and agreed to being exclusive way back.

I have been cheated on before, and I know how it feels to be strung along. To make matters worse, she is divorced after an 8 year (3 years married) relationship — and I know she cheated on her husband at the end, even though they weren't "together" anymore. I can't get that out of my head on top of her response to my question and can't help but think I should just call it quits.

While this is nowhere near my first serious relationship (worth noting right?), I still can't quite figure out what to think and can't get out of my own head. This probably sounds ridiculous and nothing like the serious issues people here are facing, so please go easy on me — feeling pretty messed up about all of this right now.

Girlfriend [30F] of 10 months says she needs space and is unsure of our exclusivity after a verbal fight. I [32M] don't know if I should stick it out and hope she comes around, or
