<human>: As the title says, my girlfriend of eight months recently rode in to town to split up with me.  We met at college at the beginning of the year last year, hit it off immediately, and have been happy ever since (or so I thought).

I thought everything was fine, we made plans for her to come in to town (she lives about 45 mins away), we'd have lunch, then watch a movie back at my place.  

When she got into my drive way, she had me get into the car, and I could immediately tell something was wrong.  She said she hadn't liked the person she'd become recently, although she said it was through no fault of my own.  Her parents are in the process of splitting up and she didn't like that I was the only person she could go to, as she felt like she had distanced herself from her friends.  We only see each other two days out of the week at most, and I have never told her not to be with her friends, so I am not sure where this is coming from.

I tried to have her work these things out with me in her life, but she was adamant that she needed to work on her relationship with her parents and friends on her own.  I brought up that I could give her time alone to work on whatever she needed, and she said she would need at least three months, and that, although she wouldn't actively pursue other people, she would still go out to parties and stuff, which I was fine with.

I know this may all seem trivial as a young person's relationship issue whatever, but I need a little perspective on this.  I do love her, and I don't want to let her go, but I need to know from someone with experience with these things if our relationship has any chance at all.

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
<bot>: Girlfriend split up with me citing the "it's not you, it's me" cliche.  We're currently on at least a three month hiatus.  I would like some perspective.
