Wow, something is off here that I cannot quite put my finger on. Like a word on the tip of your tongue. Maybe if I spitball we can figure it out.
When she agreed to go hiking was it with the intention of breaking the plans? If so why did she not simply tell you that it was something that she is not really interested in? When two healthy adults are in a healthy committed relationship the response to “I know you’re not happy” is not “then …leave.” What did she mean every relationship is going to wind up like this?”
Since we do not know the whole story I cannot help but wonder is she committed to this relationship? Is she willing to compromise at all? It really does take two people to make a relationship work. It truly is a product of what you both put into it.
You both seem to be trying to deal with pretty big individual issues completely on your own. One of the reasons living beings, humans and animals alike, enter into a relationship is to share the load.
