I was planning on marrying her after I graduated. We connected so well, and we frequently were complimented how great we were together. Our times together were always filled with fun and laughter. Months ago, I had gone out of state to meet her Mom and Dad, as well as her brother. It went great! They were lovely people. She had even put her mother on the phone with me a couple of times, and I got to see her mom's funny side. It meant the world to me. We talked about our future together: funny things about being old together, our hypothetical children.I embraced her beauty, humor, mind, and sex appeal with the same vigor that I embraced her imperfections with. I had her back always, and talked her through some tough spots in her own head when she would doubt herself about school or her sports. I took care of her when she was sick, and I cared for your after a surgery she had.We were both very busy people with our weekends being the only open times, and we spent them together always. She bought me some clothes last week that she thought I'd like. She also invited me to Easter to meet her grandparents...which is a big deal! They were so excited to meet me.So, I went to pick her up for our Friday date night, and everything is as usual. Laughing, joking, hugs and kisses. She had a sports competition the next day, and was preparing some energy-laden treats for the day. Her parents were even coming down to see her.After the food was done, we go into her living room, and she asks if we can talk. Of course, I oblige. This is the women I love after all! She tells me that she has doubts about us, but it was nothing I did. She tells me that she loves me, I'm her best friend, she thought I could have been "the one", but she's NOT IN LOVE with me. I'm floored! She then tells me that she confided in "the girls" before doing this. "The girls" are people that she works closely with, consisting of a 50-something spinster, a cheating wife who hates her marriage, and another cheater that's married with children. That just added salt to the wound.This hurts me to the core, and I don't understand it. The timing is so peculiar, right before her competition, right before her parent's visit, right before Easter (a week away). I'm so lost right now, and I don't what to do.
