Hurt, confused, hopeful, scared... Please Read! What do I do???

I was with a girl for almost a year and 6 months (Officially 1 year and 3 months June 09 - Sept 10), and things were great. To give you background on the relationship: We had great times, memories, our families got along, and really fell for each other. It was a fun, happy relationship, with only a few arguments, over jealousy issues, and silly things, which we got over easily. We met in a different way (her at her job, a restaurant) and hit it off the whole time from the day I got her phone number, to the day we had our first date, to I asked her to be my girlfriend, for the most part the whole time. We have a really great story, and in the middle of our relationship both admitted our feelings for each other. We were both very in love and both verbally expressed how we both wanted to stay together forever. We were inseparable. she often called me her best friend (vice versa) and "hubby" and all kinds of things, and often said herself that she wants me forever. We did NOT have sex yet, but we did other things. She is a virgin and wasn't ready for a while and I was patient, but we tried a few times starting from about the fourth or fifth month to the end of the relationship, before she had to move to college. Around the time she was planning on going to college, we didn't know what to do with our relationship. She was moving about 3 hours away to school and I was planning on moving down there before I started school two years ago (I'm a sophomore, almost junior in college and she is a freshman in college NOW), but two years ago i declined the school to stay home for a couple semester, but her moving there...and her attending that school was initiative for me to move out of the house and finally transfer there and for us to continue our relationship when we are both in the same city. We both had different thoughts about what to do, but in the end we both agreed that we love each other, and we knew how crabby and angry we get when we dont see each other for a while, we agreed it would be best to "drop the title" so we dont become so focused on the relationship and pointless jealousy arguments, etc. BUT, we agreed to act as if we were together and treat everything as if we were together. She goes to orientation a few weeks before school starts and gets some new guy friends (which she never really had before) and comes home, happy to see me, but I also noticed she was texting a particular guy a lot and acting weird. The same name every time I see her phone buzz, that same guy. Of course I asked her about it, and she told me he was just a friend and I blew it off. I come with her and her family the day she moves in, and we have a fun last day seeing each other for a while, but I told her right before I left that I'd come the weekend after we moved her in. That weekend came, and this is a week before school starts, and the first day We had a blast... and at night we got in a big argument, the next day we argued more over a situation where she didnt want to hold my hand at the mall where she lives now. She told me at night that she didn't "feel comfortable" acting "together" because of that argument the first night. We argued even more that night, and the next day I planned to leave in the afternoon because I had to leave for work, and that day on the way home we argued on the phone. We got over it that night and made up over the phone. 2 Weeks after, we saw each other that weekend and hung out. I didnt see her much, because of but It was okay for the most part. she acted really funny the weeks after I saw her. We argued argued argued, and she thought I was trying to push her into being with me but she wasn't ready for a relationship. I told her many times that I'm not trying to make her be with me at all, I just wanted to get an understanding of what we are at the moment, and work on us, she never really directly answered the questions she wasnt comfortable answering. One week, we argued on a thursday and I cursed her out, and immediately felt bad about it and apologized, but the next day, she ignored EVERY SINGLE call I made to her. I then learned that she came into town with some guy, the exact guy she was texting all the time. she came back overnight back home because her family wanted to see her. The guy went with her because her mother is pretty protective, and didnt want her to drive at night alone, and she says thats the ONLY reason she brought him along. I find out she is in town, but she didnt tell me. After plenty of calls and messsages she finally tells me she brought him down and why, and that i shouldnt worry because once again he is "just a friend" and that in fact he's talking to his girlfriend in the same room she's talking to me in. After that weekend, things were different more, Hot and Cold. Her birthday was that next weekend. I went through alot to get her some really great gifts and a picture video of us for the anniversary that passed, but she tells, me after I bought everything, that I dont need to buy her anything. and I dont need to come down that weekend with her family. She ignored all my calls on her birthday but we got in a few msgs and she still was giving me the message that she still loves me, and is in love, etc., and she was sorry about the lack of communication on her part. I find out later that this guy, (same guy she texts all the time) who lives in the town she goes to college and goes to that same school, was with her that weekend with her family, almost instead of me. I was furious and we argued plenty after that. about two weeks ago we were talking and she told me maybe she shouldnt be with me, and we should end it, so I said okay and hung up. She called me about ten minutes later crying and said she was sorry for what she's been putting me through and she's just confused, so be patient with her. It was pretty much kept at that until last week, a friday, she called me crying... I answered and asked what was wrong multiple times and she told me, I'd be mad at her if she told me all of what she had to say. Me, sure that it was something silly, asked her to continue, and she told me that her guy friend got back with his girlfriend. She was upset because she liked him. I had a bad feeling about their friendship from the start. I got mad and critized her some, never disrespecting her or yelling during this convo, but asking why she would do that, and she hung up in my face, I called plenty of times so she blocked me from facebook, msn, skype, etc., as if I had did that to her. Days later afer ignoring my calls and texts, she finally answers and says he broke up with his gf so he and her are working thins out slowly. I was very angry and received a call from her mother to stop contacting her so I did just so. I really feel like I'm looking like the "bad guy" to her family. My birthday was a week after that last friday. I expected her to say something to me but I got nothing from her at all. Come to find out today that she is now dating that "Friend". This is indescribable pain. She tells me she loves me and wants to work things out, but goes and does this? I feel like its a textbook definition of a rebound boyfriend but dont know what to make it or what to do. I hadnt talked to her in about 7 days and right now, as of a few minutes ago, I guess she unblocked me, she messages me and says she's sorry for everything...I REALLY truly feel like we were a perfect couple before this arguing because we were pretty much arguing because of the distance and I know none of this would have happened if I was down there NOW instead of like I planned to be next semester. I know she's still in love with me, I feel it. and I have been on target with my intuition and assumptions lately, but was she did was horrible. What do I do? She finally comes to me asking about a friendship? We always used to say we couldnt be "just friends"... How do I get us back with the current situation? how do i approach her when she finally wants to talk about everything? Do you think we can still be with all this that's going on. I feel like this "relationship" she's in now will crumble, not that I want it to, but I feel like she did it for convenience and comfort. They were in the same situation so she felt comfortable with him, but I feel like she'll come back to me...What do i do? comments?
