We got into a major fight and discussion on the weekend about us. And she just said the same things:
Why she won't give it a chance and try to make the M work. Her reasons:
she got scared that she would be in an unhappy marriage
She loves me as a good friend
She doesn't want to bring kids into an unhappy marriage and feels she would be trapped in Australia if we did and it went wrong again
She felt she could never make me happy
I didn't show and express my love for her enough
I treated her too much like my best friend and not a wife
She doesn't trust us a a couple anymore
She feels all my family and friends all look down on her now
