"I need some time away from you to reconnect with myself" is up there somewhere with, "It's not you, it's me" and "I'm just not sure what I want right now." I'd blow up at you, too. It's one of those cliches that typically means "Sorry, babe, I just don't want to say we're through, but yeah, we're through." Regardless of whether that is what you MEANT by your need to "reconnect with yourself," it probably reaked of bullsh*t to her because of your reasoning. Try "we need to take a break because I need some space," or something. It was very noble to put it on yourself like that, but you just made it sound like a bad cliche for "toodles." Probably pretty normal for her to have freaked out considering she most likely thought she was being dumped. Sorry dude, good luck.
