Why do you think your last relationship didn’t work, even though you tried everything?

Because we weren’t right for each other. I tried everything but I was miserable, and he probably was too.
Because he no longer wanted it to work. It takes two.
In hindsight I can see it was best for both of us to break up though. We were too conflict avoidant which hindered honest communication.
beacause we both were too imature, not ready for a relationship
He did not fuck with me
I was trying to move forward and he was trying to move backwards.
Lack of ambition on the guy’s part. Or atleast I felt so. My dad died 2 months into the relationship. So I had to start working or do something to make sure there was food on the plate. Hence, I have always been passionate about growth and trying out new things or learning new things to open up new opportunities for myself. But he kind of became quite the opposite after college ended (he was in final year and I was in 3rd year when we started dating). He just let life happen to him, things to come to him rather being a self-starter. Mind you, he is a first-generation lawyer. I tried telling him. Went on long advice sessions on what he could do. How he could even use LinkedIn. Showed examples of peers. But just nothing. He would do nothing. He would just play video games. I am not against playing video games, I play them myself but that doesn’t mess with my career. It also irked my mom a lot that every evening as soon as he came back home from work, he would play video games. Well finally, I just didn’t see us in similar places, career wise, 5 years down the line. From the kind of person I got to know he was, he had an inflated ego. He liked to show people what he truly wasn’t, rather wanted to be. And that would obviously create a rift down the line. So I had to take the mature decisions (we were together for 5 years and planning to get married by 2025/26). I broke up! And honestly, I feel I have thrived more in life as soon as I left him than I had in all the 5 years I was with him, but that’s a separate story!
I know we had our ups and downs, and we’re both not perfect. I tried to understand his reason why he cheated on me and even thought of forgiving him because I don’t wanna waste our 5 years relationship, but still, there are other reasons why it won’t work out and one of it is his family. His decision depends on them 😅
I believe that I cannot continue the relationship if he can’t decide on his own 🫠
we both fell out of love or maybe were never really in love just infatuated with the idea of someone being intrested in me
