Leave her alone. I know it's tough. Chances are you'll get back together. Chances are you won't. Dont let yourself get caught in that dream of you making everything perfect for her. Cause, you might not wanna hear it, but she might not care anymore. I wish you the best and I'm only speaking from experience. I suffer still from this. But leave her alone for at least a week or 10 days. Then see how she feels. I hope you get her back

Talk to her and just ask her why

Maybe she's ready to move on in her life, you should talk to her about it and see why.

First of all, I understand your confusion and hurt....... She is probably feeling overwhelmed and underappreciated......... with Covid and dealing with 4 kids and a partner. I"m not saying you are not doing this....... but treat her as your special woman- not a girl--listen to her, understand what she is missing/frustrated about. Take her out, dates etc.......

Just suggestions, but sometimes when a woman has made up her mind, there is no turning back...... she's had too many red flags. ( could be herself, you or the relationship and all the bumps of life)...... who knows............

Hope you take care of yourself, you are important too!

Why does she need a break is a good question... And I would sit her down and ask her that question!! There has to be a reason and I feel she owes you that after years of being together! Especially with children being involved. Please let us know what happens? Sending hugs.
