My girlfriend (25F) of 18 months asked my (25M) preference about her pubic hair and now finds me "revolting" and wants to break up.

So I'm in shock right now about what happened. <br><br>Yesterday, my girlfriend was getting ready to shower and was talking about how she was going to shave. She randomly asked me if I liked the way she shaved or if I would prefer her to keep more hair or get rid of it entirely. I didn't think too much of the question because she's asked me similar questions about my preferences about her body before (e.g., whether I like her hair straight or wavy, whether I find a certain top hot). I've always thought that she was just looking for something nice to say or that she was looking to tailor our encounters to make them as sexy as possible for me since I do the same type of things to tailor our encounters to her as well. In any case, I responded by saying that I liked it when she was completely shaven, but that I really didn't have a strong preference one way or the other because I think her body is beautiful either way. <br><br>Well, I woke up this morning to her gone and a note on my desk that said that she now finds me "revolting" and that she wants to break up. I've got a text from her saying that she's going to come by later to pick up her stuff and that she will send me a list of items that she will be taking with her that cannot under any circumstances be touched. She also said she is going to send me a list of our shared possessions that she would like me to keep, because she doesn't want anything from our relationship. <br><br>I'm so confused. I have no idea what happened. I keep thinking about our last conversation and if there was something I could have done differently. I just don't get it. I feel like I've lost my best friend and I'm just so in shock.<br><br>**TL;DR:** My girlfriend (25F) of 18 months asked my (25M) preference about her pubic hair and now finds me "revolting" and wants to break up.<br><br>**EDIT:** Well first of all thanks to everyone who has responded so far and everyone who is planning on responding. It really means a lot that people are taking time to share their thoughts with me. <br><br>I've seen a lot of people saying that she must have been cheating and that the man she was cheating on her with must have said something that caused her reaction. I can't say for certain that she wasn't cheating, but I've talked to her sister and one of her best friends and they both said they were blindsided and that they didn't know anything about her planning on breaking up with me. They also didn't know of her seeing anyone else. Could she be lying to them? Yes, obviously that's a possibility but the three of them are very close. I just don't see her hiding a relationship from them. <br><br>In regards to people saying she was planning on breaking up and was looking for a justification: I can again not say one hundred percent that that isn't true, but she was talking about our future and she had plans for us. That's what makes this whole thing so theatrical and shocking that it just seems made up. The whole thing is just so out of character for her.<br><br>I have a few people who have reached out to me via DM. Thank you so much for that. I really appreciate all the support and I'll get back to you when I have a chance. <br><br>I've also had a few people ask why I don't just call/text her and ask her what's going on. I considered that, but she might view that as me badgering her and I really don't want to make this situation worse. She said in her text that she was going to come by later today to talk, so I figure I will just wait to talk to her in person. It's only 2:00 pm, so I have a bit to wait.<br><br>**EDIT2:** Also, thank you all for the gold and silver. I really appreciate that. Also, thank you for the rewards as well. I also really appreciate all the comments that have been supportive and given advice, even the harsh ones. I really appreciate people taking the time to share their advice. Thank you all so much.<br><br>**EDIT3:** It seems that I have to use the context of what happened in this sub to understand the rules, so I apologize if I break any rules. I want to emphasize that I didn't come to this sub to bash her or be mean to her or use her as a personal punching bag. I came seeking advice because I'm lost and I don't know what to do and I'm hoping some people will be able to relate or have gone through a similar experience and can offer me advice. If that's not what this sub is for, then I apologize.<br><br>I just got a call from my ex's mom and we talked for a while. It was a very nice conversation. I think she called mostly just to let me know that whatever happens, she will always consider me family. She also said she was going to call her daughter and talk to her and that she would let me know what happens. She also told me that my ex was going to send me a text with pictures of what she can and cannot take. I thought that was a bit strange but I appreciate her willingness to help in any way she can. <br><br>I also just received a text from my ex with a picture of her new iPhone that she got two months or so ago. She wrote above it in all capital letters and many many exclamation points DO NOT TOUCH!!!! So weird.<br><br>I've also thought a lot about the conversation yesterday and I'm beginning to think more and more that something didn't seem right or she wouldn't be acting like this. I remember now that I was kind of surprised that she was asking about my preference because she had already decided on how she wanted to groom herself down there. I'm thinking now that maybe she was getting ready to groom herself for someone else and was just making sure that it was how he liked it. I don't really know though. <br><br>**EDIT4:** I think it's time for me to get off of this for a while. I've thought about it some more and I think I'm going to call her now. I'll update everyone once that conversation is over. Thank you all again for the advice, support, and awards.<br><br>\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_<br><br>So I called her and she didn't answer. I left a voicemail asking her to call me back when she has a chance. About 45 minutes later, she did call me back. <br><br>I asked her what was going on and why she was moving out in such a hurry. She told me it was because I was "revolting." I pressed her a little further and asked her what she meant and she essentially skirted the question. I asked her what she was going to tell her family about why we broke up and she said she was just going to tell them that we grew apart and that I wasn't the right guy for her and that we should have broken up ages ago. <br><br>She then asked me why I hadn't removed her razor yet and I told her that I didn't even see the note until I called her. She essentially went on a whole tirade about how I must be obsessed with her or something if I haven't thrown away everything that she used. She said that she used to brush her teeth with my toothbrush and when I asked her why she said it was so that I would have her teeth bacteria and she would have mine. I told her that was weird and that I wished she wouldn't do that and she just repeated that I was revolting. She essentially went on a tirade with a bunch of random non-sequiturs, saying that I'm the type of guy who would date a doll, that I'm the type of guy who would date a child, that I wouldn't care if my partner was dead or alive as long as I got what I wanted, etc. Like I said, it was all non-sequiturs and it seemed like she was just saying whatever she could think of at the moment to try to hurt me. <br><br>I told her that I can't stop her from moving out if that's what she wants, but I can't do anything until she calms down and not being irate, and that until then I just want to talk to my girlfriend again because this isn't her. I told her that I thought she was the love of my life and I just don't want her to go. I offered to do couples counseling and individual counseling and she said no. She essentially went off again and I just listened. At the end of all her ranting, she said to tell her when I have thrown out everything she used and she'll come by to talk about the logistics. <br><br>I just threw out basically everything she used, and by that I mean I threw out one toothbrush, one hair tie, and one razor. I don't know if she's going to get mad that I didn't throw out more, but what else was I supposed to throw out. I just threw out basically everything that I could identify as something that she used.
