33M need advice on how to navigate situation with 27F who ended things and now reconsidering

I need this group’s advice on how to move forward with my situation?

I [33M] was in a 3 year long relationship with [27F] that ended a couple of weeks ago because my ex’s parents disapproved of me. I still love her deeply, but she chose to end things rather than fully stand up to her family. Despite the breakup, we are still living together while sorting out the lease (which is a big problem, we are in month 2 of a 24 month lease)

Outside of her parents, she mentioned that I was getting too dependent on her and she felt like I stopped trying (e.g., putting in effort, not making plans for dates, etc.) – I half agree with this. It’s a little more complicated than this.

Staying together has created emotional whiplash: she’s shown vulnerability (crying around me, saying she felt alone, admitting she hasn’t spoken to her family), and she even wanted to sleep in the same bed last week and hinted at reconsidering (I reminded her of the breakup and politely declined). But that gave me hope. But she then pulled back, saying she only sees me as a roommate for now and can’t commit to working on the relationship.

When I asked her directly today, she said she needs time to figure out if she wants to try again but can’t guarantee an answer in any set timeframe. I agreed to stay in the apartment together while she decides. I have told myself that I’ll wait at least until my travel in mid-September (about 4 weeks), since that naturally gives space and also helps financially with rent.

This takes me to mid October. The risk is that I’m in limbo holding on to hope that she might return, while she hasn’t given clarity. There is decent chance that she may say no. I know I can’t wait forever and don’t want to end up in an unhappy relationship, but I feel like I am not ready to walk away yet

TLDR – Ex (27F) broke up with me (33M) due to parental disapproval + feeling I stopped putting in effort. We’re stuck in a 2-year lease (month 2). Living together has been confusing — she’s shown mixed signals (crying, saying she’s lonely, wanting to share a bed) but now says she only sees me as a roommate. When I asked if she is reconsidering, she said she needs time to decide if she wants to try again, with no clear timeline. I agreed to wait until at least mid-October (after my travel). My worry: I’m stuck in limbo holding onto hope while she may never come back.
