If I might make a suggestion Amy... I think you should set a date to tell her. I'd tell her that there is something on your mind that is very important to you and you need her undivided attention with no chance of the time set aside being taken away with interruptions. Tell her that you think the best place to do this would be where no one can interrupt you and her. That might be your [place, her place, or a special place that in the past gave you both good feelings being there. It might be a cozy quiet table at a lounge or restaurant that holds special meaning for the both of you. Maybe a park or beach where you have enjoyed some alone time with her. I'd make it a romantic time that shows how much you care about her. Maybe flowers and a romantic card. Turn the cell phones off and gently tell her what is on your mind. The point is, for now, set a date and tell her the purpose of the date. That is, you have something to talk to her about that is very important to you and that it has to be a time that the two of you will not be disturbed by anyone. At least this gives her time to think about what this might be about. She could be thinking the worst and only find out that what you share with her was not half as bad as she was thinking. But more important, you put her in a frame of mind to listen to you and that it is important to you. I wish you a lot of luck and love..from her.
