She (36F) said she's always been a "prude". DW (34M) after what happened yesterday, I'm starting to suspect she's a "prude" because of me.

First of all, I have to say none of what I'm about to write is her fault at all, and she doesn't deserve any negative comments. Also, apology for the long post.<br><br>We've been together for almost 6 years now. Met through mutual friends at a party. From the very beginning we clicked. We had a great time, always laughing, talking and we felt like we've known each other for years despite being a couple of months into the relationship.<br><br>In fact, from the very first moment we started going out, I was absolutely sure that I wanted to marry her. I cherished her so much that I was sure that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her. I proposed after 4 years of being together and she said yes. The wedding was planned and I was so excited to have my dream woman to become my spouse.<br><br>The wedding was planned to happen last November. We paid a lot of deposits and her parents were the ones paying for the reception. I was paying for the ceremony, DJ, photographer, etc, etc. We were less than a month away, and we postponed the wedding. She started to have doubts. I asked what were they and she said that she felt we weren't compatible sexually. I asked how and she said that wasn't the time and to leave it for now. I was confused and hurt. We postponed the wedding for March 2025 and we've been apart for the last 3 months until she told me that she was willing to talk.<br><br>She told me that she's always been a "prude". She went in more details and told me that she feels that I'm too sexualized. I asked to elaborate, but she just said that it gives her bad feelings and she would rather not to think about. She just said that when we'll see each other again, she wanted to try things and see how she feels about it. She also told me that she expected a trouble free relationship and she felt that I'm not what she expected.<br><br>I told her that I wanted to make things right, but it's also a big blow to my ego. She also told me that she's a traditional person and she doesn't want to do things that other women can do because she's not like that and she wants to be respected. She doesn't want to try things or discuss topics that make her uncomfortable. <br><br>I went to therapy and made an effort to respect her boundaries and make her feel comfortable and respected. I was being a gentleman, I stopped talking about sex, I tried to make her feel comfortable and she seemed to be happy and relaxed. It was a big change compared to how she was acting when we first broke up. <br><br>I stopped being a gentleman yesterday when I discovered something that ruined everything. I was out grocery shopping and she was staying home. She texted me asking me to pick up something for her. I was barely 2 miles away from home, so I told her that I'll bring it to her right away.<br><br>When I got home and walked into the living room, I was dumbfounded. The girl who spent 3 months telling me how "prudish" she's and how much she wants to be respected and treated in a traditional way was having sex with some other guy. <br><br>I don't know what to do. She kept saying that she wanted to be respected. The girl that accused me of making her uncomfortable was having sex with another man in her own apartment. <br><br>Now I feel bad. I don't think I can look at her the same way again. I was just an innocent guy wanting to spend the rest of his life with the woman he considered to be his soulmate. What was wrong with me? Why did she bring me down like that? I was a great boyfriend, but it wasn't enough.<br><br>She's still sending text messages. I don't think it's time to talk yet. I need to leave her alone for now. It's not her fault. Just like I said at the beginning. But I don't know what to do. We're done, but I still love her and I feel hurt. What's next?<br><br>&#x200B;<br><br>**TL;DR: She was always "prudish" and now she's having sex with another man, what's next?**
