I have a male friend who told me, that I was probably too good to my ex. That my ex probably took me for granted and got tired of everything being "perfect" OR. that he felt like I was more of a mother to him than a partner. Since I did all that stuff for him. Which makes total sense to me now.

Try acting less like a mom and more like a partner. See what happens.
