said she was unhappy lately? About how we have both been acting. She is working 40hrs a week to pay for rent for herself, school is about the start up again, and she wants to be able to hang out with her friends but since she works so much she wasn't able to. She told me that she didn't want to beak up she just wanted time apart to do her own thing and i totally agree with her. During the summer i feel as though i was controlling her. She say she was going out and i would get mad because in reality i was just jealous i wasn't. I was also a little jealous because she met this kid Matt at work who now texts her everyday and when she does go out its with her room mates to his house to party. Deep down inside i know shes not into him cause hes just a ugly fat kid who deals drugs. (im not just saying this cause i dont like him its true) My girlfriend told me that matt said he knows the position im in and would also be jealous if this was happening to me. Then after he says this he asks my girlfriend to a "friendly dinner" and gives her a bouquet of flowers. I told her that i was a little angry but mostly jealous of matt because he spends more time with my girlfriend then i fell as i do. I asked if maybe i could come to a party with her to Matt's but she said no because im a shy kid and that i would spark a conversation with anyone and that she would feel awkward for bringing me and have to watch over me or something. Its usually all guys at these parties, I know nothing is happening at these parties except sitting on a couch drinking but it still bothers me that I cant be involved in that. Last week at work she was invited to a BBQ from some random kid and she told me about it and I asked if i could go to that and she said no she wanted to do try it herself. I've been a complete mess with this entire ordeal. We both want to stay together but i feel like she thinks im cramping her style. Every time we bring up this break discussion she starts crying and saying that she just needs to do this because of all the stress on her. She says she would love for things to go back to the way they were as in last summer when she barely worked, we partied together a lot and we spent every waking moment together and that felt great but lately all that went out the window. all in all my question is about this break.
Why did she all of a sudden she drop this on me?
How do I handle it?
How do I help fix it?
How long will it last, I know you really cant but a time line on this but how will I know when its alright to be off the break.

Please no sarcastic remarks I really need help on this.
Thanks in advance
