<human>: I'm hoping some people have been through this before, and especially if I can get the female perspective on going through this (if it has differences). I've been in a long distance relationship for over 2 years now. It's been tough because during that time, I started a graduate program that involved moving, and so for much of this year, we weren't able to plan travel because I wasn't sure where I'd be relocating to until I was accepted, and then it took a lot of money and time to move and try to get set up in a new state. It felt like we were turning the corner in the last few weeks, however, and she and I could start planning for the future more.

However, today I had 4 hour long conversation that started with her saying she wants a break, and basically means she's breaking up with me (although, for what its worth, she's not yet changed Facebook to reflect that, and the conversation ended that this could be discussed further later). She spent a huge part of the time crying, and did say that it's not what her heart wants, but it's what her head says she should do, and that this is basically a realization she had within the last 24 hours.

Can anyone give me an idea of what she might be thinking through all this? In particular, this sort of situation where it seems like she clearly is upset by doing this, but feels its what she needs to do. Does this seem like the sort of thing that she may change her mind about, or is this a done deal that she just won't say yet? I'm trying to understand all of this, and I would do anything I could that she'd ask of me if I could hold on to her. I don't want to pressure her or make her feel guilty or forced into it though, I'm just trying to understand what to expect, or what I should be doing.

Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: In a long distance relationship, GF decided today that while she loves me, she's confused and needs out. Do I have a chance of that changing, and how should I handle all this?
