Tyler,
Words are cheap, actions are all that matter to women. They see through good intentions and observe us men in a way that is hard to understand. Your girlfriend realized that she loved you deeply and that her life would be one of expecting you to understand her but never would so she ended what she thought was hopeless. However here is the good news, women want and need men. The challenge is to be one! I speak from experience so I am hoping you read this many times. Men have emotional control, they understand that a women’s world is typically much more emotionally draining and intense than ours and a man can take all the stress and still make sure he treats her gently. Do your own thing but include her, dress well, eat well and have some discipline in your job or exercise routine. That my friend is the simple formula. I hope this helps it took me a while to learn it.
