I don't want to suffer any longer

Perhaps she thinks i will always be there, that im too scared to leave her be. She said she would change. Its been a a cycle of me getting frustrated with her, promises of changing, two days of her trying to do better only to end up doing the same... I dont see a change.

No matter how many times I say I care all she says is “i promise to do better”, but i dont see ANY BETTER.
she doesnt care much for my replies or my notifications. why has she become so non chalant with me? my days depend on how she treats me, I wake in the middle of the night cause the thoughts won't let me sleep, I hate her excuses upon excuses of why she is the way she is. But among all the excuses I never get the truth.

I never get the admiting part, that she simply doesn't care about me anymore. She will never understand how much anger it causes a person to have the love taken away so harshly without a reason, just because she decided so.

I struggle between loving and hating her. I don't want to hate her but what else should I feel?

I believe she's an anxious avoidant type without much empathy towards others. She can be super nice only when she wants to, but when she takes it away, she's the coldest person on the planet

Whats worse, I always come back to her, she got pretty used to it. Taking me for granted and why I stay? Because I really love her even if it makes me a fool. I know she feels nothing like she once did if all of it was even real.

I only hurt myself here. She doesn't care about my feelings and whatever I say or do can't change her.

I can't use any words to make her love again, I can't say any words that would hurt her because she simply doesn't care.

So all I have is writing here and wasting time.

I hope she knows because of her I will never open up to anyone else like I did with her.
She ruined my future relationships and trust in people

@SW-User do you really think two days is long enough for this miracle chance , obviously you know this person better than anyone but maybe a little more time rome was not built in a day . if you set a reasonable time and nothing has changed from her prespective then it is time too say adios

@smiler2012 I know her well by now, she doesn't do long stretches of trying to do better. She gets back to her old ways pretty quickly, I gave her a time frime of months many times. By the end of the first week, the level of trying to get better falls flat. And from then on, it's the same old. Many times I said nothing when noticing that. Gave her a benefit of a doubt over and over.
So now I know the timeframe and what to expect

@SW-User 🤔well i think in that case she has had chance after chance i think there is nowhere really too go . basically a leopard never changes its spots so i think it is time too bail out of this relationship as obviously she has no intentions of changing at all
SW-User
@smiler2012 ure right, but it's really dificult to let go even if she's behaving this way. I don't know why I can't let go, I only hurt myself

@SW-User 🤔i can understand it maybe hard if you have been together for a while but you have said it yourself she cannot or will not chane her ways.really for your own personal happiness that is number one priority you really need too bite the bullet and go much as it hurts
@SW-User @SW-User It's because you're trauma bonded to her. She does lots of bad things. Then one day, she does something good and that gives you hope. Then she disappoints again and you keep waiting and hoping for her to become the nice version of herself again. This is called a trauma bond. You logically know she's no good, but your heart can't let go

@nothereforpeople How can I fix my trauma bond? You described it too well, everything above is me
@SW-User well, it's not easy. Let's start there. But keeping yourself busy and keeping yourself surrounded with people ; going out with colleagues, trying new restaurants, doing new activities helps tremendously. It helps by constantly reminding you that the world is big and that you deserve good things. Also keeps you too busy to think about her all the time...

Dr. Ramani and others alsp suggest you make an ''ick list''. A list of all the bad things she's done to you..

And everone recommends you bite the bullet and go no contact with the person, but everybody knows it's very difficult and might take time

Most importantly, don't isolate yourself, and try to rid yourself of any hope that she will change and any fear of ''what if we break up and then she becomes better for the next person ? '' it's not going to happen. These people don't change

@nothereforpeople thank u for such a great answer, I will implement all those things. I realized it doesn't matter to her if a lot of time goes by without hearing from me so I'm not trying to contact her the way I used to do. I've gone no contact, I don't think it will matter to her anyway. She'll never reach out first
@SW-User keep yourself busy
