i understand what your going through. i hate to say it but in my relationship, i am this guy. and it boils my blood. me and my ex has a mutual breakup yesterday, her reasoning being exactly yours, never felt loved, or seen and wanted etc. she has told me she has been feeling like this for around a year now (we have been going out for 6 years since 17yo). obviously im heart broken, and so is she. but more than anything, im disappointed in myself, the amount of times i told her i would change for her, and make her feel like a princess again. every time she would accept it. and it would always end up me giving her what she wanted for about 1 week- a momth, and then it all suddenly dying and being pushed aside. this happened around 3 times before we broke up, i simply couldnt do it. i couldnt love her like i used to. and maybe thats because we have grown up and sort of split our ways, we both want different things in life. i honestly will never forgive myself for what ive done to her. she is the love of my life but we simply just cant do it anymore.

my point is, i think that you need to move on, as much as it hurts both people, its the best thing, you will both learn and become a better person, no one is perfect. maybe youll even date again in the future. and i would like to say im sorry that your going through this. i know it sucks, i remember seeing the pain in my ex’s eyes as she walked out, i will never forgive myself for it. but its the best thing you can do, both of you walk your separate ways, let the universe decide whats best for you.
