You have a good perspective on it. However, I think it is pertinent that they have only been dating a year, and now he will be gone 6 months (plus the 1 month he was gone while they were living together). That is more than 1/3 of their young relationship spent apart. I think she just had such a hard time with the 1 month apart that she is smart enough to know that 6 times that will be too difficult for her. I am happy that she asked for a break instead of cheating.

You make a good point about them being together for such a short time. I think it is mature of her to have mentioned something early on. You are right, speaking up now is certainly better than cheating.
