Today, I told her everything that happened to me. I've been trying to sum up the courage to tell her for months, now, because she deserves to know. I wrote it all out in a four-page letter during geography and then gave it to her during lunch. She read it through quickly and quietly and then handed it back to me without a word. She hasn't spoken to me since, save for an incoherent grunt when I told her I loved her. She wasn't able to look me in the eye, and she won't text me back.
I'm worried. I'm not sure what exactly is going through her head... Has anyone had a similar experience, in which you've told a loved one and gotten this sort of response? I can't tell if she's angry, stunned, or... maybe a combination of the two.
Whatever it is, I feel the need to tell her that I'm sorry.

When I first told my boyfriend (now husband) he just got real quiet and didn't say anything. He actually had this sort of sickened look on his face. I thought he was sickened by me....but it turns out that he was incredibly hurt and angry to hear that I had been through all of that. He even cried because he felt so helpless as far as what he could do to help me.
I'm just concerned because I've told her, before, that I needed to talk to her about something, but I just couldn't physically get the words out. And the fact that my therapist and my parents knew, and I still couldn't tell her... I think it upset her that she was the only person I couldn't say this to. I'm just hoping her response has nothing to do with this. But, again, thank you. :]
My last girlfriend did not talk too me for about a week, and then once we talked it over, she became more supportive.
You have nothing to apologize for, you were very brave for telling her. :)
