My (29M) girlfriend (29) of 1.5 years told me that I don't make her feel good about herself.

Honestly my family loves her. But practically she can't make it. She just started at a prestigious university, and she'll be in summer semester. Even then, she can't afford to come and my family simply can't afford to pay for her. She knows this and she knows that if it were possible my family would love her to come. Obviously I would.

I've also told her how I feel about her and us. I try to be as honest and as thorough as possible, but it just doesn't seem to matter. Every time I ask her to try and see from my perspective she automatically says that I'm not seeing hers. I try to though but I don't know. It just doesn't seem to be enough.

We broke up not that long ago and I felt that it was the right decision at the time, but she pleaded with me to give her a chance. That this time she'd try, because she said that she knew that I tried but now she wanted to do her part. I felt like she was genuine and gave her another chance. I don't want to feel this way because there are SO many qualities that make her amazing, and because I've told her that I'm committed to our relationship, but i feel like my efforts aren't appreciated and that I made the wrong decision. It feels shitty.
