You accidentally walked into his/her conversation they're having with a friend and they started describing how much of a nice and understanding person you are (and other good qualities) but isn't sure if he/she wants to age with you. Overall they think of you as a nice gf/bf.

I didn't mean to get into my gf's conversation but that's everything I heard. It's really the last part that crushed me. She said it clearly ''Don't think I feel the same but don't know how to tell him'' etc... ''Don't wanna hurt him''. At this point I quietly walked away and left. I proceed on talking a long walk.

It would be understandable if we were teenagers dating for 1-6 months but we've been together for 4 years and our ages are 27 and 26.

As much as it hurts me and I really don't want to, I think I'm going to break up. I haven't been feeling well this hearing all this. I thought of her as much more than a nice gf. The only reason I wasn't directly about it (even thought it's been on my mind for a long while) is because she wouldn't drop any signs of feeling the same. I didn't want she was feeling then and really thought she was just nervous like any person gets when a relationship progresses. Now I know that's not the case.

there is no need to jump the gun and call it in the moment, the talk after to clarify things would decide that.

Have you had discussions about 'the future'? What was said?

Seems like a discussion is in order

Talk to her. Find out what she was actually saying.

Ask her if it's true.

If she says yes, break up.

I did twice and she would smiled and changed the topic. Should have known she wasn't interested at all.

I am so sorry you have to go through this. It looks like your girlfriend has some doubts about this relationship. Have a conversation with her, don't give up just yet.

Good luck.

You should have insisted that she discuss the topic.

I know. I just didn't want to seem as if I were pressuring her. I assumed she was just nervous.

Well, the past is past.

You certainly need to have the discussion now
