 For the moment, all you can do is wait. If you love her, you can live without her for two weeks but be prepared for the worst. The good thing about the worst is that if it goes like she said, and you two are happy clams again then it'll make the waiting that much better. :) But if she does break it off then you aren't surprised and you can move on.

misterb is verified as being by the original poster of the questionyes this is the first time she has asked for a break. she said she loves me and just wants some space for a week or two and that i just have to keep the faith. so i guess the only thing i can do is wait and give her, her space?

Hmmm... usually when one needs space it's for two reasons.... too much sh is going on in their life and they have to sort things out. or they want to see if it works out with someone else.
Only you know your girl. Which one is it?
That she doesnt want YOU seeing other people doesnt necessarily suggest the former. It can also mean she wants to string you because that other 'option' is shaky.

 If this is what she needs then try and respect that. It is tough on you, but hang in there. Breaks dont work for everyone, but for some I believe it could. Perhaps its whats best for the two of you right now. When the break is over, have a very serious conversation with her about why she wanted a break and what she feels now.
I think it is important that she doesn't ask for breaks all the time though, and hope this is the first time she has asked for one. If they reoccur often this is a red flag that she might not be taking the relationship seriously.
