I went through the same type of thing with my fiance last year. She stuck it out for about three months and then basically said that she wanted to have fun in life, not sit at home with me.
It was tough at the time, I was going through my worst setback at the time and she didn't understand what I was going through or didn't really care anymore.
I do believe it's for the best though, like Mark said, rather find out now than later in life when we have kids and splitting up isn't as easy as giving back the apartment key.
I learned a great deal about myself and about people around me. I have several friends that really stepped up without my asking and really helped me through tough times, no questions asked.
And then other people, who I thought were close to me at the time turned their backs on me...

12/02/2012 - Light concussion at boxing practice. Ended up having PCS for about 3 months.
March 2013 - Thought that since most of my symptoms resolved I could start having fun again.
Went snowmobiling once (didn't hit my head) and concussion symptoms returned and got even worse than before.
June 2013 - accidentally bumped my head against a deck railing, and had a month-long setback.
November 2013 - drove to work after a big snowstorm and the roads were very rough, ended up having another setback.
2014 - Having setbacks after coughing/sneezing too much, or someone slapping me on the back, or any other significant jarring.
Feb 2014 - Started seeing Atlas Orthogonal chiro - most helpful doc so far.
June 2014 - Two months of physical/visual therapy - no noticeable improvement.
September 2014 - Diagnosed with Perilymph Fistula in right ear.
November 2014 - Fistula surgery (switched to left ear before the surgery after additional testing).
January 2016 - Quit work to "work" on figuring out PCS, so far it seems that eyes/vision issues are the most contributing factor, especially computer work.
Current symptoms are: inconsistent sleep patterns, headaches, vertigo/dizziness, anxiety/panic attacks, mental fog/problems with concentration, problems with computer screens.
