Around the beginning of February my girlfriend asked me to just "be her best friend". Now, we were having major problems at the time and I assumed we were just going to take a break. Later she reveals that she and her best friend have subsequently realized their love for each other. Now, I'm devestated. The only thing is, I can't get over her because she keeps hinting that she wants to get back together. I told her I'd give her a bit to figure it out (April 5th would be our 1 year anniversary so I plan on using that as a day to ask her what she's decided) and we have still been hanging out, going out to dinner, etc. I asked her if she loves her friend like she loved me and she said "nothing will ever be like that" and when we hang out she still holds my hand and acts like we are dating. For example, the other day we were hanging out and she opened a Jones soda and showed me the bottle cap which said "happiness is right next to you" and another time she said "i was thinking about how happy i would be if I woke up to you this morning". Basically, she makes it hard to move on when she does that shit. The only strike I have against me is that I didn't treat her too well for a while and this new girl is practically a saint. Everyone loves her and she is incredibly nice and caring. I know that she will not want to hurt her and that I deserve to be hurt more since I treated her so poorly. I acted like I didn't care about her and now that she's left me, I've realized my true feelings. How should I approach this situation? She seems to be really happy right now with the new person but when she says stuff like I mentioned it makes me think I have a shot. Advice?
