i've been there, and know what you're going through. The conclusion I've come to is that everything happens for a reason. Whether you want it to happen or not, the decision to take a break is ultimately the decision of the person who wants the break in the first place. If that's what they want, I feel you have the right to do whatever the hell you want, as does your partner. Definitely keep the communication flowing, if you want to, definitely keep the door open, and most definitely keep your options open. Grow as a person, enjoy some time being single. Coming out of a relationship really sucks, but being single isn't all bad. You have the opportunity to learn who you are as a person and what your needs in a relationship are.

I'm sure you love her and all, and as harsh as this may sound, but if she is the one who wants to take a break, but is going to get way jealous if you start dating someone else, there's something kind of messed up with that picture. If she makes the choice, she can deal with the consequences. It's a free ticket (within your moral ranges) to do whatever you want to do, with whoever you want to do it with. If she's got a problem with it, that's her problem.
