First thing, totally not related to you question but I like your screen name, I got a laugh out of it.

Although you don’t say it, I get the impression your still in high school. If that is true you have no business talking marriage.

However, she lost almost every friend she has, and since her school community is very small she has become an outcast. She blames me for this when she's very upset, but for the most part she's forgiven me and I'm okay even if she's still upset.
Something doesn’t add up here. Either you’re leaving something out or she is hiding something or seeking some kind of drama. There are more questions than answers. For example if this other guy did make moves on her, why did she tell you. If it was just to let you know, why did you confront him? Did you know him before this? Was she ultimately seeking the confrontation between you two?
Maybe she was seeing him behind you back and he slighted her, so she sought you out call him. Maybe she was seeing him and she slighted him and had you call him to rub it in. Either way it would be consistent with him calling her a slut and her friends leaving her. There’s no way he’s going to start calling her a slut and you a nutcase or her friends are going to leave her if this guy doesn’t have some other kind of motivation. What I’m saying is that those reactions by those two separate groups of people are not consistent with what you are telling us.

Why would she even bring that up? You said the marriage wasn’t for another two years?

I’m not so sure of that by this comment below

Yeah I’m not saying that she had to hang with you but if I plan on marrying someone I’d probably at least say hello to them. I bet she was attempting to purposely make you jealous.

Yep, it worked to.

Did she tell you that? I’m not so sure you’re the selfish jerk here. I still think there’s more to this story. That being said, if she was ignoring you, you should have ignored her right back. By approaching her and opening up to her you put the power in her hands. She was having fun, and it made you upset. She got what she wanted out of you. You should have either had fun with other people or left.

Well that’s behavior by somebody that’s blowing you off, while making you jealous and depressed at the same time. She is doing it on purpose that is for sure.

Maybe you didn’t but she just wanted to see other people. The truth is your probably never going to know. Maybe you come off too needy to her and that is driving her away. Approaching her at the dance wasn’t a smooth move that is for sure.

You should not contact her for sure. In fact at the end of the two weeks you shouldn’t contact her at all. Let her contact you to see if she does. You are coming off way to desperate. I still think you holding something back or something's not adding up here about that whole phone call. There’s more to that than meets the eye.
