<human>: Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?

First off, I want to say that our whole relationship started on rocky ground. We hid it from both of our parents for different reasons at first, but eventually we told them after going out for 5 months. We've actually known each other for 6 years and her brother is one of my best friends, and we were very close friends before we started dating. (Messy situation I know). To add on to that, since we've started dating, she moved out from her extremely over protective parents' home, and I came out to my parents as an atheist. So the past 6 months has been stressful for both of us to say the least.

Anyways we had been dating about 6 months and we started having a small issue which led to a week of us not talking, and then her proceeding to break up with me over text. I was furious at first and didn't care to be her friend anymore. She then gave me a long and sincere apology for treating me that way, and we were on good terms a few days after us breaking up. We've then gone on to get drunk and hook up a few times since then, which has made the situation even more confusing. She tells me she still loves me and believes I'm the one, but she doesn't want to feel tied down and responsible to me as a girlfriend. We've both agreed that if our relationship had started at a different and less complicated fashion, we would have been really good for each other. We get along really well, we've just both had trouble dealing with the stressful situations going on in our lives. 

So she still wants to be just friends now. She's also said that maybe in the future we'll end up together but we're not making any promises to each other, which I agreed we shouldn't. But seeing her the past few times has been very hard for me. I still have strong feelings as does she, but I guess she can just push them to the side a little easier than I can. I don't want to lose her as a friend, but I think I might end up heartbroken if I continue the friendship and then she finds someone else. Can anyone help me out in this extremely confusing situation?
