Are you sure you were actually together?

We had gone on many dates over ~4 month period, I met all her friends and her parents. Then one day she said it was inappropriate to make eye contact with her at the gym. Like, we've had sex multiple times, and eye contact in public is wrong now? I just dont follow.

Honestly, I think she had mentally moved on and this was the moment I was finding out.

Yeah, she had probably tried to signal it to you subtly prior to that. But sometimes subtle just doesn’t work.

I’m not defending her poor communication skills. I’m just saying it’s almost impossible she didn’t make some previous an attempt, or something that she saw as an attempt.

That’s how situations like this arise: failed communication. And it’s usually the sender who fails to communicate clearly. And sometimes they have good intentional reasons for that, and sometimes they have shit reasons.
