My girlfriend just told me a couple of days ago she needed some time and space to think about what she wants and if she wants to see others to make sure of things. Does this mean she wants to break up or something else?

It must be very difficult,but hopefully you have told her she can have all the time she wants,because you are not going to be there when it all goes wrong.

leanne.od agony aunti think she's trying to determine if she wants to continue in the relationship and his her cheats way out of saying she wants to sleep with ther men to see if she can do better than you but if she can't, she'll settle with you.

this is unfair on you and if she did love you and want to be with you, she be questioning whether there is someone better.

my advice? let her go and sleep around but don't take her back, because she'll think she can do this whenever she gets the urge to have "fun"

good luck

dump her she is just dragging you along until she meets someone else plus if you love something you must let it go if its not good for you do cut her loose or get embarrased and hurt deeply!

Only your girlfriend knows the answer to this one. It sounds like she is telling you she is not sure about her commitment to you, which is about her, not you.

I would give her the space, and I would start dating other women, don't wait around for her or she will lose respect for you....

It isn't fair what she is doing to you, but it depends on how much you love her if you are willing to see how things play out....or you may decide it is time to move on.

On Cloud9 agony auntI am sorry you are going through this. Its a horrible situation and must be playing havoc with your mind.

I don't know how long you have been together and/or any of the background that led up to this but I suspect she may have been feeling unhappy for some time and is likley to be what she says it is, that is - she just needs time to think about her as an individual. I absolutely hate to say it but I think that she is already considering seeing other people and that doesn't sound very good for you.

Of course the easiest way to find out if she wants to break up however, is to ask her. But I suspect she was trying to let you down gently but that is not gentle as it just makes plays tricks with your mind.

Of course I have no idea what is going on in her head, but from my experience that is usually a sign that someone is thinking of, or is, seeing other people. Whatever happens though do not put yourself through any unnecessary pain - do not hang about in her shadow - Clear up what her intentions are and get a straightforward explanation, so you can move forward.

Wish you all the best - good luck
