<human>: My girlfriend and I are ending things due to not being able to currently deal with some demons in our past. We both need to work on ourselves and just simply aren't ready for a serious relationship. Outside of these personal issues we are having, our relationship was simply amazing. We have a really great chemistry together and things are natural and easy. While both of us don't want to completely drop out of each other's lives I don't think 'being friends' right now is a good option.

I think have a clean break off for some time will benefit us both and see how we really feel about each other and leave better potential for the future. Is there any reason this logic is wrong? Should we work on building a stronger friendship first like she has suggested? Thanks!

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
<bot>: What is the best long term approach to take with ending a relationship? We have no issues between us it is simply external circumstances. Should we clean break for a bit or try and keep up and build a friendship?
