I can relate to your girlfriend completely as I have been in a similar situation, and to be honest, the only reason I wanted a break was because (I hate to say this... ) I wanted to break up with him =[
I was feeling trapped in the relationship and I felt like my boyfriend wasn't really the man for me after all, and instead of breaking it to him straight up, I decided to soften the blow by suggesting a break, and hoping he would get the hint if I didn't bother to call or text etc.
This may not be the case of you and your girlfriend, I mean, my ex used to cheat and beat me around, but she may just feel like she needs the space to find herself again.
When you have been in a relationship you tend to forget what its like to do things on your own or to simply just relax on your own. This break could make her realise her feelings for you, or simply show her that maybe you aren't the one for her. Either way, for her sake and yours, its best this dilemma is sorted sooner rather than later...
If it turns out the break is genuinely just for her to "breathe" a little, then that's great!! If it turns out that she does want to split up, it may seem like the end of the world, but it's probably for the best! I'm sure you would rather not be in a relationship with someone when you know they are unhappy, and you would much rather let them go and do their own thing.
Whatever happens... try to keep your head up! We go through all these experiences so we can learn from them, and in the end it does make you stronger and wiser. When you go through the bad times, it really makes you appreciate the good times!!
GOOD LUCK =]
