<human>: So my girlfriend and I have been arguing a lot lately, this started a little bit before christmas (perfect timing amirite?) and it only began escalating until just the other night, Monday, she informed me that she would like to take a break from the relationship due to the constant fighting. She has been dealing with a lot of family problems, (deaths in the family, divorce, etc.) and that has been tough for her to handle. She claims that I have added nothing but more stress to her and she can't handle it. Obviously this is upsetting to me because shes someone I see myself with for a very long time. I myself do have issues with anger and have been through countless therapists to help it and have had huge gains in my progress, but from time to time I do tend to lash out, usually at those closest. I need advice on where I should go from here.. She says she loves me, and I love her, but she just can't be with someone romantically right now and keep them happy. I've seen her texting a couple guys, a new guy who she says is just a friend and an ex who is trying to rekindle something I think. So... how do I approach this? Stay back and let her be, or be proactive and show her that I want this to work?

Can you condense the text into a few key points?
