I was in a relationship with my girlfriend this last year, and over a week ago she decided she needed a break, and that she didn't feel the same. She said that she will definitely want to get back with me, but she just needs time :(  The last week we have been in contact, and I do want to give her space. A few nights ago, I was talking to her, and I finally felt this break might be good for her, and I told her I accepted it :/ But, then, she tells me she might see other people; not go out with them or anything, just " shift .. meet " other lads. This is really worrying , but she said she still will want to get back with me when she's ready. She promised me she didn't break up with me to see other people, but in my head I feel she won't come back.  I love her so much, and miss her loads. I'd do anything to have her back. I don't know what to do.

I think it's possible she thinks this is just a break in order for her to "meet" or "shift", but it's "shaky ground", and I think you know it. To me, she wants to explore other relationships, and there's no guarantee she will come back to you. But all you can do is give her the space she is requesting. If she does want to come back, and she has had another relationship (s), it's up to you whether you find it acceptable, or it adversely affects your relationship to the point it's irreconcilable. I wish I had better news for you, but I make every attempt to give an unvarnished opinion.
