First of all, Lizzy was very distressed and in an emotional state - she could not conceal her feelings.
But especially, it made best sense for her to be open with Darcy at this point because the problem that she was dealing with was one he would understand, having been prevented from falling into it himself only by happenstance. He was the only person she knew who could sympathize with her without actually being in precisely the same position she was in, as the Gardiners and Jane were.
What else can I help you with?
Why does Elizabeth feel she will never see Mr Darcy again when she told him about Lydia's elopement with Wickham in Pride and Prejudice?
If Lydia marries Wickham, then Elizabeth will be closely related to a man Darcy detests. If Lydia fails to marry Wickham, then Elizabeth will be a member of a disgraced family. Either way a connection between Darcy and Elizabeth is also a connection between Darcy and a scandal. Lizzy is already aware of the enormous differences between her situation and Darcy's. She is poor and he is rich. In England of the time, that was regarded as a reason for them not to be married, because marriage was a way to form alliances and increase wealth. Darcy has commented on this. Her family is not well bred by Darcy's standards, and Darcy has commented on this also. She has already turned down a marriage proposal by Darcy, and rather angrily. She regards the attraction Darcy has for her as probaby very weak to begin with. Lydia's elopement, in her view, is just a final straw.

Why does Elizabeth only tell Jane about half of Darcys letter?
Elizabeth does not want to hurt Jane's feelings or make her angry. Half of Darcy's letter was about the separation of Jane and Bingley, and Elizabeth did not want to bring it up. Darcy's actions were quite unfair, because he acted without finding the facts. Darcy helped separate Jane and Bingley because he thought Bingley would fall in love only to have his feelings hurt. Darcy thought Jane had no feelings for Bingley, when, in fact, Jane was in love with Bingley. If Elizabeth told her this, it would have given her heartache.

How do Elizabeth and Darcy overcome their Pride and Prejudice in Pride and Prejudice?
Darcy is proud of his family. He believes Elizabeth's family is not as good as his own, in some undefined way. He is proud, but he is also prejudiced. He tries very hard not to fall in love with her, but he cannot. Aside from being pretty, lively, and charming, she may be the only woman he has ever met who is unimpressed by his money. He makes his reservations about her very clear when he proposes in Hunsford, and feels wounded by the rejection he receives. So he writes Elizabeth the famous letter. We do not know much about Darcy's thoughts between then and the time he meets Elizabeth at Pemberley. I imagine he must have compared the vulgarity of Mrs. Bennet with the bad manners of his own aunt, Lady Catherine. Certainly, we can understand that he would have had the inferiority of Elizabeth's family reinforced by the news of Lydia's elopement. But in fact, he must have understood that, as much as the elopement damaged the reputation of the Bennets, his own family only missed the exact same disgrace by chance. In the end, when he says he is still in love with Elizabeth, included in the dialog are his words, "your family, much as I respect them..." As for Elizabeth, she has always been proud of her own ability to judge others, and her prejudice against Darcy is partly based on this pride. Her disgust of Darcy only increases until his proposal, and the letter he writes after being rejected. She then begins to realize that she has misjudged him. In the subsequent events, she realizes that Darcy is not who she had thought. What she had thought was pride was clearly something else. Darcy's sister is found to be shy, rather than proud, and we might wonder whether Darcy, himself, was not shy also. After Lydia's elopement, Elizabeth is mortified to find that Darcy had actually found Lydia and Wickham, and had attended the wedding. She realizes what disgust he must have felt at having to do this. She believes he has every reason not to want to see her again, and finally understands, at a point where she thinks all his love of her must be gone, that she is in love with him. Her understanding is made complete when she is told that he found Lydia and got Wickham to marry her for her own sake, despite the fact that he did not believe she would ever marry him.
What happened the first time mr darcy purposed to elizabeth?
Mr. Darcy proposes to Elizabeth twice. The first time, at Hunsford, his proposal is long winded, arrogant, and insulting. Elizabeth, who has already come to regard him as conceited and unpleasant, is not particularly impressed and turns him down. Darcy's second proposal is simple, unassuming, and short. This time he is successful, but that is mostly because Elizabeth has gained a much better understanding of him.
