She Says She Loves Me...

[Ambient]

I have a feeling I messed up big time and I don't know what to do. I was pissed at my girlfriend last night for a stupid reason and I guess she didn't realize it because she told me she loved me for the first time and she meant it, but I didn't say anything back because I was mad, but I do love her. We talked and she was really hurt by me not saying it and now I don't know what to do to fix it. Now she is going to be afraid to say it again and if I say it she probably won't believe me. I just feel like this is the worst thing I could have done.

 

Thanks,

You must be pretty good at hiding your feelings if you were mad at her and she was so completely oblivious to it that she told you she loved you. I've been trying to wrap my head around that one - I suppose it can happen. She has probably been thinking of telling you she loves you for awhile and blurted it out when she found an opportunity.

 

A few things:

You two love each other. So.... That being the case, why were you holding a grudge against her all night? You now know that kind of behaviour is pretty counterproductive - but I just wonder why you chose not to address the issue when it came up, instead of letting it brew all night.

 

A second thing, stemming, again, from the fact that: You two love each other. When you find your moment to tell her you love her, there is a 70% chance all will be forgotten. Don't focus on the negative aspects of what happened. It's too bad it happened the way it did, but myabe you would stand to gain by seeing that above all the confusion, she told you the most beautiful thing she could ever possibly tell you. Take a moment to be happy, to have faith that this means that together you will figure it out.

 

Love means believing the other wants what's best for you and does not hold resentment. Amongts other things.

Sounds like you're pretty young. She'll get over it.
