Honestly, you sound like a doormat to her.

At least thats what people said to me when i had a almost similar story like what you written above.

In short, you were a doormat to her, when she needed you, she comes to you, when you wanted more acknowledgement or a show of love from her, she tends to play it cool and make it insignificant.

When she relayed her break up decision to you, its more like FYI because it means nothing to her. That also means that you were just a doormat to her.

If she really appreciate your relationship, she wouldnt do all these to you let alone ending the relationship with some general answers that dont mean anything at all.

Its like telling you "im leaving you and i just need to give you some crap reasons".

I know how it feels because whatever i have been through matched exactly what you have said so far.

Your title shouldnt be "what could i have done differently" because its not about what more can you do, you cant do anymore than what you did if the other party doesn't see you as an equal partner in a relationship.

then you should straight tembak her at her face. You say i manage to grab a good deal from trip at this date. Please make necessary to adapt to the time.

I been to your situation before its really painful i know i plan, i pay, i drive,i navigate, i coordinate at the end i still need see her attitude.

I asked please sleep early tomorrow is a 1 day trip. Then the day before she go clubbing, then on the day of the trip i call her 5am she said call her back 6am, then i drive to her house need wait 15mins she not ready, then on the way she said she sleepy so wanna sleep so i end up driving alone while she sleep.

The whole day really moody, she feel tired because have to walk, sleepy. Later i ask her some question she show her attitude keep quiet then somemore driving i got so bad headache when driving back.

This happen because i was like you, everything also must follow her way, Now if she delay maximum of 3 mistake i straight terminate everything

Thanks a lot for the wake up call. Last Christmas I actually booked a room at a Hotel in GH, all paid and everything. Initially she agreed to it but after dunno what discussion she had with her mom, best friend, siblings, she said not worth going there just a few days before it was scheduled.. On Christmas eve i got into a major accident too, so I just let it slide away.

Something similar to your experience, she is ALWAYS late for appointments and she is ALWAYS tired. On weekends she sleeps at 12 and wakes up past noon and still complains she is sleepy. Even when I visit her apartment, there are times when it takes her more than 10 minutes just to open the door. Call her also she doesn't pickup, supposedly cause she was showering or on the phone with her mom etc etc.

I don't really like to force someone to do things but you guys are right. There are times when I just need to stand up and shoot her down. Take the control back. Being kind only left me defenceless to her ways.

Its a lesson learnt, hopefully I won't fall for the same tricks again. Truth to be told, my brain was telling me she's bad news but my heart just couldn't fight back. It's my mistake for being weak.

Trying not to turn this topic into bashing-your-ex thread but i guess the moral of the story is not to allow someone to take control of your life totally.

You allowed it because you loved her genuinely. Unfortunately, it wasn't reciprocated by her in a similar way. That's because she doesnt love you as much as you loved her.

You can plan everything to the very last bit but if a person doesnt care, it doesnt mean anything to her.

I once planned a trip to Sydney with my ex while i was in Malaysia and she was in Melbourne. I took 2 weeks off to fly there only for her to tell me that she doesn't feel like going to Sydney because she wants to do something else and she needs me to take care of her since im there.

I lost AUD1k for all the bookings just like that.

So again, you can plan everything you like for someone, if someone gonna see you as a doormat, she will just keep rubbing it in as usual.

The best way to do is to convince yourself that you deserve more than that, definitely more than just being a doormat.
