I feel such utter embarrasment that the one person in the world that I love the most, and want to spend the rest of my life with, has been made to feel like this by me, and me alone. That's painful.
Maybe you should look at it as a huge box with a bow on it just fell out of the sky and landed in your lap??
Seriously, don't be embarrassed, forget the talking and manipulation and realize she finally communicated to you. The medium doesn't matter. Now just work on yourself and give her a chance to see a different you.
Validate her feelings and work on you. If you love her, then just do it without dwelling on the "sting", focus on you never making her feel that way again.
