I have a really bad habit of getting into relationships with people ,who are nice at first then just stop caring . I listen to peoples feelings and am a very honest and open person . I know when to stop speaking and for some reason I don't know why I could work and also cook the next days meals the night before on my workdays and clean the mess I made while still cleaning my partners mess when I get home and it would never be enough . on my days off I dont have a pleasing people issue I just like lots of tasks it makes me happy and I still always have time for myself and my partner of course. I give my partner space and listen to their feelings as well as just being there for them . What am I doing wrong? I always just say if you need something or want something to be different just tell me and I can make it work if my partner says they want tondo something like helo cook or work or anything else I'm cool with it . I'm an easy to please respectful person I hold doors and have manners. I don't know I guess I just want some advice on what I should do after I heal from my breakup? I just am gonna take some time to myself and reflect and do some self improvement . Thanks,

Are you dating about your same age? Maybe it's a maturity thing and you're choosing people that just aren't interested in relationships that require effort. You need to find someone that values the same things as you in a relationship and maybe you're just missing the mark because the people in your dating pool aren't there yet.

Yeah I stay no more than a couple years apart from my own age

Maybe just give things time. You're young. There's no rush. I don't know why they may all seem the same, but we tend to repeatedly end up with people that are similar in personalities. That's my experience anyway. You have to consciously break that cycle.
