Girlfriend needs "time and space"

I have known my girlfriend since I was a junior and she was a freshman in high school. She really liked me back then and I didn't really give her too much attention because I had a girlfriend. Anyways, I came to find that I had fallen in love with her over the past seven years, and i really felt like she was the one. We have been dating since last April, and things have gone really quite well. We both really love each other. Anyways, she broke up with me in July, and we got back together after three days. I was freaking miserasble without her, and I didn't know what to do with myself. She said she didn't have the same feelings for me, and then ended up telling me that she did, but she was just scared, but knew that I would never intentionally hurt her. Anyways, a week ago monday, she told me that she wanted to take a break, and that she wanted some time and space. I was freaking out, because I love this girl so much. Not only is she my girlfriend... she is my best friend. Anyways, she says that she loves me , but sometimes she doesn't see us having a future. I dont see how that is possible... we love eachother so much and we get along really well. We just really go together great. It has been the hardest week of my life, and I have had so much trouble not contacting her. I miss getting her text messages throughout the day, and being able to see her at night. It feels as if the joy has been sucked out of my life. I hate that feeling. I feel so empty. I have not eaten much, but have been getting better. I have heard from a number of people that I should kind of play her hot and cold, and not call her much, if at all. I freaking hate games, though... when we broke up in July and I went and hung out with her and her friends, and I wasn't paying full attention to her, and heaven forbid, I hugged one of her friends who had helped me deal with it... and she just lost it. She started crying.... and she realized that she wanted me back. I just love this girl to death... and I want to marry her one day. but, I dont' control her at all, and I treat her really well. Does a guy really need to not treat his girlfriend so well, in order to keep her interested... I just dont' get it... and I"m dying to know if we're going to get back together eventually... I have had a number of people tell me that i have a lot to offer, and that I should see other people during this time. But, we haven't broken up, and I don't want to..... so I have no interest in seeing other people.. .What should I do.... we have hung out twice as friends and it's hard to not treat her like my girlfriend, but I want her in my life... I hate that there's no resolution on the situation.. are we broken up or not? How long do I give her before I ask? How long is long enough when a girl needs time and space... I dont' want to hurt her by hanging out with other people.... Please help me out... I want her in my life.. and i love her more than even my own life, but I don't know what to do. I can tell that she is having a tough time throughout this all, too.... .I know there is no other guy involved.. she just said that she isn't sure if she's ready to be this commited, and although we've talked about getting married, it would still be a few years away, so i dont get it... I can't picture her with anyone else... I think if she started dating some other guy, I would have to not see her.. cuz it would make me want to kill the guy... help!

This love you are in, is not healthy at all, and you need to decide if the two of you are on the same page and want the same things in life. Love is not misery, and just my take, I think you have given so much that you have lost yourself and who you are. Not good. To stay in this relationship without working out your own issues will be a big mistake. Work on yourself and slow this train way down. Find youself.

She needs "time and space"? That probably means that she needs "time" to find somebody else and "space" to do it in. I don't buy the excuses. If she loves you, then what's the problem?
