Brit....these actually seem like productive conversations. There is a lot in here to work from.
Maybe you guys could set some boundries for your current relationship based on these needs of hers. That way you aren't confused all the time. It sounds like she's very open to talking about it anyway. And if you do it together, it's not you telling her.
I think she is keeping the door very open, but really needs to figure her own *stuff* out as she said.
And, she really does need you. That's a good sign.
Your texts back to her are great. Very validating and comforting.
